Table 1 Semiquantitative adipogenic differentiation score
% of differentiated cells among all MSCs in field of view (10× magnification) | Size and arrangement of lipid droplets | ||
|---|---|---|---|
0 points | 0 – 5% | 0 points | No lipid droplets |
1 point | >5 – 50% | 1 point | Predominantly few isolated and small-sized (< 1/3 of nucleus diameter) lipid droplets |
2 points | >50 – 80% | 2 points | Predominantly medium-sized (approximately 1/3 of nucleus diameter) lipid droplets, surrounding the nucleus |
3 points | >80 - 100% | 3 points | Predominantly large-sized (> 1/3 of nucleus diameter) lipid droplets, merging around the nucleus |
