FIGURE 1.
Human MSC growth on bioactive glass. Human MSCs were seeded on pre-conditioned 45S5 bioactive glass or tissue culture plastic, grown for 7 days and stained with MTT to localise metabolically active cells. While cells on tissue culture plastic were confluent and elongated with a fibroblast-like morphology, cells on 45S5 bioactive glass were more rounded with a more patchy distribution.
