A) Histophotomicrographs showing ALP-stained (blue) adipose-derived cells isolated from wild-type (WT) or craniosynostotic (CS) rabbits after 7 days in culture either in the absence (0ng) or presence (50ng) of BMP4. Notice that the cells were responsive to BMP4 after 7 days in culture. B) Graph depicting the mean quantified ALP activity (error bar depicts standard deviation) of adipose cells derived from WT (n=14) or CS (n=12) rabbits. BMP4 increased ALP activity overall, however, there were no significant differences between CS and WT derived cells. C) Graph depicting the means and standard deviations of absorbance collected as a measure of total cell number. No statistically significant differences were identified after either 3 or 7 days in culture.
