Figure 6

Morphology of MSCs cultured with -TCP micron particles. (a) Light microscopic images. MSCs were cultured with 0.1 mg/mL in the contact condition. (b) Transmission electron microscopic images for MSCs at 7 days. Each area indicated by a square is magnified. -TCP micron particles are indicated with arrow, phagosome with open arrow, lysosome with black arrow head, and lamellar body with white arrow head.
