Figure 7

SEM micrographs of the morphology of osteoblast cultured on LiHA matrix for 120 hours. (a) Detail of cell surface showing secretion vesicles indicating normal physiology. Cells are flattened and elongated. Scale bar: 2 μm. (b) Group of osteoblasts showing a flattened cellular body and a high degree of interconnection. Scale bar: 10 μm.
