The Pilot Study of Fibrin with Temporomandibular Joint Derived Synovial Stem Cells in Repairing TMJ Disc Perforation

Figure 4

Biocompatible and biochemical results of TMJ-SDSCs seeded in two scaffolds. Columns and error bars represent means and SD. Cell adhesion (a), GAG/DNA ratio (c), and relative expression of Col I (d) were significantly improved in fibrin/chitosan scaffold. Asterisks indicate significant difference from control ( ), based on the post hoc analysis comparing each individual group. Cell proliferation results (b) demonstrated significant difference ( ) in the two-factor ANOVA (fibrin and time duration).
