Figure 7From: Differential properties of human ACL and MCL stem cells may be responsible for their differential healing capacity The expression of marker genes for adipogenesis (A), chondrogenesis (B), and osteogenesis (C). Compared to control cells, these marker genes in both hACL-SCs and hMCL-SCs were highly upregulated when the ligament stem cells were grown in the respective induction media. The RT-PCR results were obtained from a 29-year-old female donor (see Table 1). The results from another two donors were similar (not shown). ALP, alkaline phosphatase; Coll. II, collagen type II; Cont., control; Differ., differentiated; LPL, lipoprotein lipase;.Back to article page
