Mineralized nodule formation. (a) Calcium nodules (red) were observed using alizarin red S staining on day 14. (b) Quantitative analysis of alizarin red S staining was performed by measuring the absorbance of destained alizarin red S at 562 nm. The results are expressed as means ± SD of three replicates. Statistical significance was identified as follows: , versus a (CD90(−)/CD105(−), AdenoX-bmp2(−)); #, versus A (CD90(−)/CD105(−), AdenoX-bmp2(+)); !, within each population; and $, versus the others excluding populations B and D ().
