RESUMO
The minimal criteria for mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) identification set by the International Society for Cellular Therapy include plastic adherence, presence and absence of a set of surface antigens and in vitro multilineage differentiation. This differentiation is assessed through stimulation of MSCs with defined combination and concentration of growth factors towards specific lineages and histological confirmation of the presence of differentiated cells. Here we provide protocols for multilineage differentiation, namely, osteogenesis, adipogenesis, chondrogenesis and myogenesis. We also provide their respective histological analyses.
