Perfusion Flow Enhances Osteogenic Gene Expression and the Infiltration of Osteoblasts and Endothelial Cells into Three-Dimensional Calcium Phosphate Scaffolds

Figure 8

Cell/matrix area coverage is increased in three-dimensional scaffolds when exposed to perfusion flow for 14 days. Cell/matrix area coverage was calculated as a percentage of cell and matrix area within pore spaces to total pore space area. Periphery is the mean value of the 8 peripheral regions.
