Cell morphology during cardiomyocyte differentiation from ASCs. (a) Control, only factors (BMP-4 + VEGF), and the directed cardiomyocyte differentiation protocol (MethoCult™ GF M3534 plus factors) conditions were observed by inverted microscope imaging (scale bar, 100 μm). (b) Binucleated cardiomyocyte-like cells observed at day 10 in the directed cardiomyocyte differentiation protocol (MethoCult™ GF M3534 plus factors) conditions and an image of binucleated rat neonatal cardiomyocyte (scale bar, 100 μm).
