Multilineage differentiation “in vitro”. (a) The control group of DDPSC chondrogenic differentiation. (b) Chondrogenic differentiation after three weeks of DDPSC induction stained with Alcian Blue; black arrows show the extracellular matrix formation—mucopolysaccharides. (c) The control group of DDPSC osteogenic differentiation. (d) Osteogenic differentiation after three weeks of DPSC induction stained with Alizarin Red S; the black arrows show the calcium nodules. (e) Control group of DDPSC. (f) Adipocytes stained with Oil Red obtained after the adipogenic induction of DPSC during 18 days; black arrows show the fat vesicles. All the scale bars represent 100 μm.
