Alizarin red staining of hMSC cultures 4 weeks following carrier release. hMSC mineralization post release onto TCPS substrates in growth vs osteogenic media (A). Effect of release substrate (TCPS vs polyHIPE) and media conditions (growth vs osteogenic) on hMSC mineralization (B). Semi-quantitative analysis of mineralization determined by alizarin red stain recovery (C). All data represents average ± standard deviation for n = 4. The * represents significant difference (p<0.05) between all compositions.
