Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs when co-cultured with cell-encapsulating-microbeads in the absence of OS media. Folds of change in gene expressions for ALP (A), Runx2 (B), COL1A1 (C), and OCN (D) were plotted. The Ct value of BMSCs in growth media cultured on TCPS for 1d served as the calibrator. Osteogenic markers were upregulated in all groups, indicating that active factors were released from the encapsulated cells and acted on the BMSCs. Each value is mean ± SD (n = 5). Bars with dissimilar letters indicate signi cantly different values (p < 0.05).
