Methods of enriching non-senescent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and methods of performing quality control for non-senescent MSCs are disclosed. The methods comprise contacting a sample comprising MSCs with a probe (specifically peanut agglutinin, PNA) that binds to a glycan (specifically glycan T-antigen) expressed on the surface of MSCs, with the separation or determination of non-senescent MSCs from senescent MSCs based on a difference in expression of the glycan at the cell surface, i.e. the non-senescent MSCs express more of the glycan than senescent MSCs. A high amount of non-senescent MSCs is indicative of a sample of acceptable quality.
