Figure 4: Analysis of Stem Cell Viability and Metabolic Activity in SLA-Printed Scaffolds.

Figure 4:

This figure presents the results of a 4-day experiment investigating the survival and metabolic activity of stem cells grown in SLA-printed scaffolds (blue arrows). (a) Metabolic activity was measured using an XTT assay at day 1 (mean = 1.4, SD = 0.23) and at day 4 (mean = 13, SD = 0.19), showing a slight increase over time despite high standard deviations due to a small sample size (n = 4 per group). Analysis showed no significance between groups and days. Concurrently, (c-f) Live/Dead staining and imaging highlighted a predominance of viable (green) cells over dead ones, reinforcing the potential for successful cell growth within these scaffolds.
