Perfusion Flow Enhances Osteogenic Gene Expression and the Infiltration of Osteoblasts and Endothelial Cells into Three-Dimensional Calcium Phosphate Scaffolds
Figure 2
(a) Sections were removed from the middle of the scaffold parallel to the direction of flow. Nine sample regions from each section were used to quantify cell number, surface coverage, and cell/matrix area coverage. (b) Regions 1–8 are combined and are referred to as the scaffold perimeter. Region 9 is referred to as the scaffold center.
