Figure 4From: Effect of nano-hydroxyapatite coating on the osteoinductivity of porous biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics Representative images of Live/Dead cell staining of MSCs cultured on BCP and nHA-coated BCP scaffolds. After 1Â day in co-culture, living cells (stained green) had adhered to both scaffold types, exhibiting normal polygonal morphology (A, B), and few dead cells (stained red) were seen on either scaffold type (C, D). After co-culture for 14Â days, MSCs had proliferated on both scaffold types. MSCs have not yet reached full confluence on most regions of the BCP scaffolds (E), but they had achieved a fully confluent monolayer on the nHA-coated BCP scaffolds (F). After 14Â days in culture, few dead cells were seen on either scaffold type (G, H).Back to article page
