Comparative phenotypic transcriptional characterization of human full-term placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cells compared to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells after differentiation in myogenic medium
Addition of TGF, PDGF and ascorbic acid does not further increase myogenic markers. Unlike bmMSCs, myogenic medium is insufficient to produce SMCs from pMSCs. Other myogenic protocols must be used to differentiate pMSCs.
