Knitted 3D Scaffolds of Polybutylene Succinate Support Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth and Osteogenesis

Figure 5

Alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of osteogenic marker genes on knitted 3D scaffolds. (a) Alkaline phosphatase activity normalized with CyQUANT cell proliferation results at 7 d and 14 d; . between the indicated material () and PLA at the same time point (unless otherwise indicated). The results are relative to the 7 d PLA sample. (b) RUNX2a expression at 7 d and 14 d; . The results are relative to the 7 d PLA sample. (c) OSTERIX expression at 7 d and 14 d; . The results are relative to the 7 d PLA sample. (d) DLX5 expression at 7 d and 14 d; . The results are relative to the 7 d PLA sample.
