Chemical Synthesis, Characterization, and Biocompatibility Study of Hydroxyapatite/Chitosan Phosphate Nanocomposite for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications
Figure 8
SEM images of osteoblasts grown on different matrices at day 14 on (a) chitosan (CS), (b) chitosan phosphate (CSP), (c) HAp/CSP nanocomposite. Scale bar of each image is 10 μm. Arrow “1” shows a nodular cell aggregate, arrow “2” shows the extracellular matrix secreted by the cells in around themselves, and arrow “3” shows a visible mineral nodule.
