Functional hepatocyte characterization of bMSC under hepatogenic conditions during a 28-Day in vitro culture period. (A) More intense positive PAS staining was observed in differentiated (DIF) compared to control (CON) bMSC cultures. (B) Production of albumin increased (P < 0.05) in differentiated bMSC cultures at Days 21 and 28 of hepatogenic differentiation. Similarly, levels of urea increased (P < 0.05) in differentiated bMSC at Days 21 and 28 of hepatogenic differentiation. (*) Superscripts represent significant (P < 0.05) differences between treatments. Bar scale: 500 μm.
