Isolation and Characterization of Synovial Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived from Hip Joints: A Comparative Analysis with a Matched Control Knee Group

Figure 3

Proliferating potential of both hip and knee cells on 3 donors. Both passage-1 cells were plated at 50 cells/cm² on 150 cm² dishes. Thereafter, the cells were replated at 50 cells/cm² every 14 days until their expansion potential was lost. The expandabilities were lost at passage 8 in both MSCs derived from knee and hip joints.
