Differentiation assays of the cells passaged after suspended culture of synovium from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n = 8) and osteoarthritis (OA; n = 6). a Chondrogenesis. Representative macro pictures and histological sections stained with safranin O are shown. b Cartilage pellet weight. Average values with standard deviation are shown. NS: not significant. c Calcification. Representative cell colonies stained with alizarin red are shown. d Adipogenesis. Representative cell colonies stained with oil red O are shown
