Cell number and CFU analysis of BMSCs cultured in static-2D, static-3D and RCCS-3D groups. (a) Proliferation curves of BMSCs in static-2D, static-3D and RCCS-3D groups. The fold increase of cell number was calculated at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 day, normalized with the fold increase of cells was set as 0 on the seeding day. The difference on the 7th day was significant by one-way ANOVA analysis (*p < 0.05). (b) Loading efficacy of cells in static-2D, static-3D and RCCS-3D groups. (c) Statistical analysis of colony numbers of BMSCs in each group (n = 3, *p < 0.05). (d–f) Morphology of colonies formed by the cells in static-2D group (d), static-3D group (e) and RCCS-3D group (f) and the colonies were stained with crystal violet.
