Isolation and characterization of ADSCs. (a) Morphological characteristics of ADSCs. Scale μm. (b) Adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs. Adipogenesis was positively determined by oil red O staining, osteogenesis was positively determined by alizarin red staining, and chondrogenesis was positively determined by alcian blue staining. Scale μm. (c) Flow cytometry analysis of ADSC surface markers. CD29, CD44, CD73, and CD105 were highly expressed on ADSCs, whereas CD45 and HLA-DR were rarely expressed.
