Fig. 5From: Comparison of osteogenic differentiation capacity in mesenchymal stem cells derived from human amniotic membrane (AM), umbilical cord (UC), chorionic membrane (CM), and decidua (DC)Fibronectin and laminin induced cell morphology changes and promoted osteogenic differentiation in AM-MSCs, UC-MSCs, CM-MSCs, and DC-MSCs. Morphologic analyses of the PD-MSCs have been cultured in tissue culture plastic, fibronectin or laminin with α-MEM. Alizarin red staining for analysis of the amount of calcium deposition in AM-MSCs, UC-MSCs, CM-MSCs, and DC-MSCs after 21 days of osteogenic differentiation on tissue culture plastic, fibronectin, or laminin.
