Angiogenic commitment: light microscopic analysis of AM-hMSCs after incubation on Matrigel. (A) Spontaneous organization in capillary-like structures on semisolid medium after 2 (A1), 4 (A2) and 20 (A3) hours of incubation. (B) Increased capillary-like structure formation in AM-hMSCs cultured in angiogenic medium supplemented by VEGF 50 ng/mL after 2 (B1), 4 (B2) and 20 (B3) hours' incubation. Within 4 hours of incubation on semisolid medium, cells preserve a round shape and homogeneous distribution (A1 and B1).
