Figure 8.
Qualitative (A) and quantitative (B) measurement of calcium deposition localized to biomineralized MSC-alginate constructs using Alizarin red dye showing the osteo-differentiation capacity of GMSCs and hBMMSCs encapsulated in alginate with (SL +) and without SL (SL −). Control groups without mineralization induction were used as the negative control (−) while encapsulated MSCs without SL (SL −) were used as the positive group.
