Figure 6.
Protein-level multiplex immunoassay results for (A) Collagen 1 and (B) SPARC presence after 14-day culture on templated SIPS PDMSstar-PEG and analogous PEG-DA control scaffolds were prepared with medium salt (~270 μm). (C) Von Kossa staining (brown-black color) for mineralization after 14 day culture with hBMSCs on scaffolds prepared with 2k PDMSstar-MA. Due to the intensity of staining, only macro-images could be taken due to over-saturation during imaging. Statistically significant difference compared to the control is represented as * = p <0.05, to the corresponding 10:90 (wt/wt %) as # = p < 0.05, and to the corresponding 20:80 as $ = p < 0.05. Scale bar = 2 mm.
