PG - 102637 LID - 10.1016/j.mex.2024.102637 [doi] LID - 102637 AB - Bone marrow stromal/stem cells (BMSCs) are primitive and heterogeneous cells that can be differentiated into osteoblasts, adipocytes and other subsets. Their bone-fat lineage commitment is responsible for the homeostasis of bone marrow microenvironment. However, there are little effective methods and evidence to simultaneously visualise the lineage commitment of BMSCs. Here we provide a bivalent differentiation medium that can enable BMSCs differentiation into osteoblasts and adipocytes in vitro, and establish a method to simultaneously distinguish osteoblasts or adipocytes from the heterogeneous BMSCs based on Alizarin red S and Oil red O staining, which have been used for detection of specific mineralized nodules and lipid droplets, respectively. This assay provides a specifically simple but effective and low-cost method to evaluate the efficiency of osteo-adipogenic (OA) allocation of BMSCs.â–ºResearchers can utilize the bivalent differentiation medium to evaluate the efficiency of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro.
