Tenogenic differentiation of ADSCs and subpopulation cells in vitro. (a) Tenogenic gene (EGR1, SCX, and TNMD) expression compared between ADSCs and the subpopulation cells. , . EGR1: early growth response1; Scx: scleraxis; Tnmd: tenomodulin. (b) Immunofluorescence for Tnmd expression of the two groups after 14 days of tenogenic induction and positive staining area of TNMD. . (c) Picrosirius red staining for both groups. , .
