Dexamethasone-Activated MSCs Release MVs for Stimulating Osteogenic Response

<div>Histological analysis of the effects of DXM-MVs on bone healing at 4 and 6 weeks postsurgery. (a) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) staining of callus sections demonstrated accelerated bone regeneration in DXM-MV group. Arrows indicate the cortical gaps (scale bar, 200 <i>μ</i>m). (b) Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was highly expressed at the defect sites of DXM-MV group. The insets are the images with larger magnification of the selected areas. Scale bar, 20 <i>μ</i>m. Arrows indicate the ALP-positive areas.</div>
