Adipose Derived-Mesenchymal Stem Cells Viability and Differentiating Features for Orthopaedic Reparative Applications: Banking of Adipose Tissue

Figure 1

Local anesthetic did not interfere with adipose tissue morphology. H&E staining showed a similar morphology of adipose tissue harvested with or without local anesthetic. No evidence of adipose tissue degeneration or necrosis was evident (a, b). IHC analysis showed comparable staining for CD68 and CD31, in both samples harvested with or without anesthetic (c–f).
