μCT analysis of organotypic cultured embryonic femurs (E10) in basal, chondrogenic, and osteogenic conditions. (A) Femur lengths; ***p<0.001 increase in femur length compared with noncultured femurs; ###p<0.001 increase in femur length basal compared with osteogenic femur culture conditions. (B) μCT morphometric indices of the structure of E10 embryonic chick femurs organotypic cultured in basal, chondrogenic, and osteogenic media for 10 days. Values are mean±SD (n=4 femurs per group). μCT morphometric indices of the structure of the organotypic cultured embryonic chick femurs E10 (NC=noncultured, B=basal, C=chondrogenic, O=osteogenic). Values are mean±SD (n=4 femurs per group). ***p<0.001 increase or decrease in μCT bone morphometric indices of basal, chondrogenic and osteogenic cultured femurs compared to noncultured (NC) femurs. #p<0.05 decrease in BV between basal and chondrogenic cultured femurs. ##p<0.01; ###p<0.001 increase/decrease in μCT bone morphometric indices of osteogenic cultured E10 femurs compared to basal and chondrogenic cultured femurs.
