Figure 8.
Ratio of gene expression of Rankl/Opg (A) and Trap gene expression (B) of the newly formed bone in the defects injected with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs), adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AT-MSCs), or native bone 4 weeks post-injection. The actual changes were relative to the gene expression of cells from native bone. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences among groups (p ≤ 0.05).
