Figure 2. PTH enhances bone allograft mineralization, as quantitatively detected by functional fluorescence imaging (FLI).
Six days after surgery, mice implanted with allografts and treated with PTH or PBS, were injected with a hydroxyapatite-directed imaging probe, OsteoSense680™. Twenty-four hours after probe injection, FLI (A) and a quantitative analysis (B) were performed; n = 5, bars represent ± SE; * p < 0.05.
