Figure 1. (a) HDF-f were cultured as pellets in complete MSC Chondrogenic Differentiation Medium
(MCDM, Cat. # 7551) for 50 days. The pellets were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and sectioned.
Alcian Blue staining demonstrated the presence of cartilage in cells (Magnification: 10X).
(b) Human Dermal Fibroblasts-fetal (HDF-f, Cat. #2300) were cultured as pellets in growth medium,
complete Fibroblast Medium (FM, Cat. #2301) for 50 days. The pellets were fixed in 4%
paraformaldehyde and sectioned. Alcian Blue staining was not detected (Magnification: 10X).
