The Notch signaling pathway enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of OP-hBMSCs. Growth curves (a) and plate colony formation assay (b) of OP-hBMSCs illustrate improved vitality in response to Notch activation.* p < 0.05, compared to the control. A significant increase in Runx2, ALP, and Osterix is observed in NICD1 transgene positive OP-hBMSCs. * p < 0.05, compared to the control (c). ALP staining and Alizarin red staining demonstrated the elevated osteogenic differentiation and mineralization in response to Notch signaling (d)
