Figure 5.
Average volumes of newly formed bone in the 4 different scaffolds after 6 and 12 weeks of subcutaneous implantation in rats (left axis), and normalized to an 8 mm long, 3.5 mm diameter cylindrical scaffold (right axis). Significant difference relative to (a) all other implants, (b) Mps/gelatin implant and (c) gelatin implant at the same time-point. (d) Significantly increase in bone formation relative to the previous time-point.
