New bone formation at 6 or 12 weeks postsurgery by micro-CT.
Notes: (A–J) Micro-CT images. (K) Percentage of new bone formation was quantified (area of new bone formation/created bone defect). Con: no treatment of bone defect; GH, GH/A, GH/B, and GH/A/B: treatment of bone defect with GH, GH/A, GH/B, and GH/A/B nanofibrous scaffolds, respectively. Statistically significant differences are marked with an asterisk (*P<0.05, ***P<0.001, and ****P<0.0001).
Abbreviations: Con, control; GH, gelatin/hydroxyapatite; micro-CT, micro-computed tomography.
