“…The phenotypic characterization permitted to identify a functional multipotent hMSC stemness potency maintenance (CD73+/CD90+/CD105+) in the tested groups until 14 days, which decreased at 21 days concurrently with osteoblast differentiation (Kern & Shibata, ; Pittenger et al, ; Ringdén & Le Blanc, ; Rutten et al, ; Saalbach, Haustein, & Anderegg, ; Yoshimura et al, , ). In addition, LIPUS stimulation markedly promoted the expression of stem cell transcriptional factors OCT‐3/4, SOX2, and NANOG related to stemness maintenance, as recently reported by Kusuyama et al (Alvarez et al, ; Kusuyama et al, ). As for the tendency of MSCs to lose their multipotency over time in culture, flow cytometry data recorded at different experimental time points might be consistent with long term culture stress, as reported by Stolzing, Coleman, & Scutt, .…”
