FIG. 3.

Microcomputed tomography determination of bone volume at the defect side after a 6-week follow-up. On the left side, representative three-dimensional reconstructions of the defect area are shown in the different groups. The graph on the right side shows mean and 95% confidence interval resulting from the quantitative analysis of each group. Intergroup comparison showed statistically significant differences (p<0.0001, one-way ANOVA). Post hoc testing showed significant intergroup differences between [BMP-2, SDF-1α, CXCR4(+) MSC] group and the negative control group (p<0.05, Tukey test).
