Attachment and proliferation assay of the human marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on the four different surfaces. (a) Cell attachment on the samples assessed by the cell counting kit-8 assay. (b) Cell proliferation on various specimens. (c) Cell attachment on titanium without modification (Ti), titania nanotubes without drug-loading (NT), chitosan-loaded titania nanotubes (NT-C) and HACC-loaded titania nanotubes (NT-H) assessed by 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining after 4 8, and 12 h of culture. Magnification, ×100. The scale bar for the row is shown in the last image. *P<0.05, compared with Ti; **P<0.01, compared with the other groups; #P<0.05, compared with NT-C; ##P<0.01, compared with Ti and NT-C.
