Overview
Data Figures

Figure 1. Robust Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem and Progenitor Cells (BM MSCs) Osteogenic Differentiation is Achieved in 14 days
Human BM MSCs were derived and expanded for 3 passages using the MesenCult™-ACF Culture Kit (Catalog #05449), MesenCult™ Proliferation Kit (Catalog #05411) or in MesenCult™-hPL Medium (05439). Once MSCs reach greater than 95% confluency, MesenCult™ Osteogenic medium was added to each MSC culture. Osteogenic differentiation was observed within 14 days of induction as indicated by strong alkaline phosphatase activity (red stain) and bone mineralization by the von Kossa method (black stain). Negative controls of undifferentiated MSC cultures were kept in each MesenCult™ MSC expansion media for the same time period. Negative Controls show little or no alkaline phosphatase activity and bone mineralization.

Figure 2. MesenCult™ Osteogenic Medium Leads to Faster and Stronger Osteogenic Differentiation When Compared to A Commercial Osteogenic Differentiation Medium
BM MSCs derived and expanded in MesenCult™-ACF or MesenCult™ Proliferation medium were differentiated for 14 days in either MesenCult™ Osteogenic or another Commercial Osteogenic Medium. Differentiation assays using the MesenCult™ Osteogenic medium displayed stronger alkaline phosphatase activity (red stain) and bone mineralization (black stain) when compared to cultures differentiated with a Commercial Osteogenic Medium.

Figure 3. Osteogenic Differentiation of ES-Derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells (MPCs)
Mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) were derived from a human iPS or ES cell line using the STEMdiff™ Mesenchymal Progenitor Kit (Catalog #05240) and expanded for 18 or 17 passages, respectively. Cultures of iPS- and ES-derived MPCs were then differentiated for 20 or 27 days in MesenCult™ Osteogenic Differentiation Medium. Strong alkaline phosphatase activity (red stain) and bone mineralization (black stain) were observed at 20 days of osteogenic differentiation, which was further enhanced after 27 days of osteogenic differentiation.
