Quantification of hMSC loading onto gelatin scaffolds under MG conditions. (A) Number of cells loaded onto spheroids was determined by quantification of DNA content per spheroid over an 8 day period. (B) Number of cells that remained in suspension over an 8 day period. All data presented are the mean of three independent experiments ± SE. (C) H&E staining of day 3 spheroid at 10x and 40x magnification shows multi-cellularity and absence of necrosis. (D) TEM images of day 3 spheroid show cell structure was maintained in MG. Images shown are representative of 4 individual experiments.
