Biological Assessment of a Calcium Silicate Incorporated Hydroxyapatite-Gelatin Nanocomposite: A Comparison to Decellularized Bone Matrix
Figure 1
Decellularized rat calvaria. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained cross-section of calvaria before (a) and after (b) decellularization (scale bar: 50 μm). SEM analyses visualize the presence of cells in NBM (c) and the maintained ECM structure after decellularization (d); scale bar: 50 μm. DNA assay was used to detect any residual DNA before (lane A) and after the decellularization of calvaria (lane B). Gross image of rat calvaria after the decellularization process (f); scale: 1 mm.
