μCT analysis of calvarial bone defect regeneration after treatment with TzMAP and ThiolMAP hydrogels. (A) 3 week (upper) and 6 week (lower) 3D reconstructions and axial images of mouse calvaria implanted with BMP-2 loaded TzMAP and ThiolMAP hydrogels. The background of the 3D reconstructions was arbitrarily set to blue to provide visual contrast between the background and the defect site. Bone volume, S/V ratio, and healing index of MAP hydrogels (B) 3 weeks and (C) 6 weeks postimplantation (n = 4). Dashed lines represent measurements for untreated defects. Data is represented as mean ± standard deviation. * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01.
