(A and B) Micro-computed tomography (CT) images reconstructing each group in 3-D at 4 weeks.
Notes: (A) 3-D micro-CT images of four groups. Image reconstructions were performed at a resolution of 35 μm. The dotted circles indicate the cranial defect edges. (B) Bone volume (mm3) from the newly calcified area was calculated by micro-CT image analysis according to the lower threshold level. *P<0.05 compared to time-matched empty defect; ***P<0.05 compared to time-matched TAZ treated group.
Abbreviations: LMWP, low-molecular-weight protamine; TAZ, PDZ-binding motif.
