Isolation and characterisation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human placenta tissue

Figure 1 Morphology of placenta mesenchymal stem cells primary cultures. A: The formation of heterogeneous populations of placenta mesenchymal stem cells (PLC-MSC) with fibroblastic and epithelioid morphologies at passage 0, P0 until confluence at day 14; B: Homogenous population of PLC-MSC at P1; Disappearance of the epitheloid population and appearance of fibroblast-like cells upon trypsinisation and passaging; C: Comparison of early and late passages of primary MSC cultures (C). Photomicrographs taken using phase contrast microscope at magnification 100 ×.
