Figure. 2. Construction of virus-activated matrix (VAM).

Figure. 2

(a) SEM image of a 3-D printed bioceramic bone scaffold with macro-scale interconnected pores. (b) Each scaffold column also exhibited micro-scale pores. (c) AFM image of the morphology of individual RGD-phage nanofibers. (d) TEM image showing the morphology of RGD-phage. (e) SEM image of the bone scaffold with pores filled with a matrix of chitosan and RGD-phage. (f) 3D confocal fluorescence image showing the presence of red-dye-labeled RGD-phage inside an individual pore that is filled with the matrix. (g) and (h) showed both VAM pores (g) and VAM column (h) could well support the MSCs adhesion .
