Figure 8

Spatially control of adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) differentiation mimicking tendon‐to‐bone attachment. A) The hierarchical structure of the tendon‐to‐bone attachment. (a) Schematic of transitional tissue. (b) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the mineral gradient. (c) Raman microprobe results of mineral content. Color dots indicating mineral content (red, low; blue, high). (d) TEM‐electron energy loss spectroscopy image (red, mineral; green, tropocollagen).
