Morphology of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured on tantalum implant. (A) The images of scanning electron microscope showing that the cells formed a continuous layer on the surface of tantalum and grew into the pores at lower magnification (×30). (B) The cells showed irregular shapes with long spindles adhered to the surface of tantalum implant at higher magnification (×500).
