Fig. 6From: Comparative characterization and osteogenic / adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from male rat hair follicles and bone marrowThe proliferation rates of HF-MSCs (a) and BM-MSCs (b) as assessed by Brd-U uptake, × 20. The rate of Brd-U uptake was relatively similar in both cells as indicated by percentage of positive cells (67.25 ± 4.05 and 64.48 ± 3.37) in HF-MSCs and BM-MSCs respectively (c). The average PDT of P1 to P2 was 4.8 ± 1.3 days for HF-MSCs and 4.2 ± 0.9 days for BM-MSCs (d). The proliferation as expressed by OD of formazan assay of HF-MSCs was 0.108 ± 0.022 and BM-MSCs was 0.132 ± 0.009 (e). Error bars represent Mean ± SE. PDT: population doubling time, Brd-U: bromodeoxyuridine. BM-MSCs: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, HF-MSCs: hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells, P: passageBack to article page
