Mineral synthesis by hUCMSCs on biofunctionalized CPCs. ARS stained minerals into a red color. (A) ARS staining of hUCMSC-scaffold constructs after 4 d and 21 d, on CPC control, CPC-Fn, and CPC-Platelets, as examples. For all materials, the mineral staining became a thicker and darker red with increasing time from 4 d to 21 d. Between materials, mineralization was thicker and denser on biofunctionalized CPCs than that on CPC control. (B) Mineral concentration synthesized by the hUCMSCs was measured by an osteogenesis assay (mean ± sd; n = 5). Dissimilar letters at the bars indicate values that are significantly different (p < 0.05).
