Fig. 1From: MicroRNA-218 promotes early chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells and inhibits later chondrocyte maturationCharacterization of MSC properties (a-f) and multilineage differentiation capacity (g-i) of SDSCs. Flow cytometry was used to characterize MSC surface phenotypic markers CD44 (a), CD90 (b), CD105 (c), CD14 (d), CD34 (e), and CD45 (f) in SDSCs. Adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation were assessed using Oil Red O staining (g), alkaline phosphatase positivity (h) and Alcian Blue staining (i), respectively.
