The most easy way to familiarize the morphology and stem cell properties in the fields of adult stem cells is to study the appropriate procedure and isolation of stem cells present in bone marrow as a representative mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Marrow stromal cells were obtained from about six-week old male rats . MSCs were flushed from the tibiae and femora according to the protocol of Ishaug. Cells were centrifuged at 1,200 rpm for 5
min. The resulting cell pellet was resuspended in basal medium consisting of DMEM, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 50 μ g/ml ascorbic acid. Cells were seeded in T75 flasks and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cells were allowed to adhere to the substrate for three days. The flasks were rinsed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in order to remove non-adherent cells.
In the experiments conducted to determine the influence of different growth factors and combinations of inducers, adherent cells were exposed to either basal medium, or medium supplemented with growth factors from day 3 after the cell isolation until the end of the culture, that is, until the end of the differentiation period.
