TEM analysis of equine foetal adnexa derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Umbilical cord blood MSCs (a) Cells show a fibroblast like morphology. Nucleus (N) and dark and dense nucleoli (n) are well detected (bar: 10 μm); b Golgi complex (black arrow), lipid droplets (li) and multivesicular bodies (black arrowhead) are observed in the cytoplasm (bar: 1 μm); c A well-developed RER, with long and narrow membranes, localized in the cytoplasm (bar: 1 μm); d Long and narrow mitochondria (m), with dense matrix and thin cristae, are observed in the cytoplasm (bar: 500 nm). Wharton’s jelly MSCs (e) low magnification image showing a cluster of MSCs with a spindle morphology. Nucleus (N) and dark and dense nucleoli (n) are easily detected (bar: 10 μm); f RER (rer), Golgi apparatus (black arrow), mitochondria (m) and lipid droplets (black arrow) were observed in the cytoplasm (bar: 1 μm); g detail of the cytoplasm showing a well-developed RER (rer) and Golgi complex (black arrow) surrounded by several vesicles and mitochondria (m) (bar: 500 nm); h Long and narrow mitochondria (m), with dense matrix and thin cristae, are observed in the cytoplasm (bar: 500 nm)
