Osteogenic Differentiation Capacity of In Vitro Cultured Human Skeletal Muscle for Expedited Bone Tissue Engineering

Figure 3

Osteogenic responses within human muscle discs cultured in vitro. Representative cross sections of Alizarin Red staining for muscle discs induced with osteogenic medium (a) or control discs (b) at 8 weeks were presented. The experiments were performed in triplicate with human skeletal muscle tissue harvested from 5 patients. Scale bar = 500 μm.
