In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Sol-Gel Derived TiO₂ Coatings Based on a Variety of Precursors and Synthesis Conditions

Figure 3

Morphology and growth pattern of AdMSCs cultured on stainless steel 316L ((a), (b)), glass coverslip ((c), (d)), TiO₂/316L/1 ((e), (f)), TiO₂/316L/2 ((g), (h)), and TiO₂/316L/3 ((i), (j)) coatings after 168 h of cell culture. Cells were stained with DAPI (nuclei are visible in light-blue), mag. 50x, scale bar: 250 μm (left). SEM images indicate the morphology of AdMSCs at 200x mag (right).
