Expression of chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation markers in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) grown in control and differentiation (indicated by “D”) media on plasma modified scaffolds. Gene expression assessed by RT-qPCR at 21 days. of culture is shown. A) Expression of aggrecan and collagen type II following ADSC chondrogenic differentiation; upon differentiation both transcripts are significantly higher on the COOH scaffolds than on the other scaffolds. B) Expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type I and osteocalcin following ADSC osteogenic differentiation; upon differentiation gene expression increase is greater on NH2 modified scaffolds than on the other scaffolds (p < 0.05).
