Cytotoxicity effects of chitosan, alginate, and Cs/Alg/B NPs on NIH 3T3cells at 24 and 48 hours. The NIH 3T3 cells were cultured in 96-well plates and were exposed to 10 µg chitosan, alginate, Cs/Alg/B NPs (26 µg/mL), and negative control (RPMI 1640). Positive control (untreated cell). Cell viability calculated as; viability (%)=Mean OD/Control OD×100%. All data are presented as the mean of three different measurements±SD, asterisks (*) represent means the significant difference from the control group by the Bonferroni posttest (P<0.05) and asterisks (****) P<0.0001. OD, optical density; SD, standard deviation.; Cs/Alg/B NPs(rhBMP-2 NPs), rhBMP-2-loaded chitosan/alginate nanoparticles.
