CMC nanofibers have a biomimetic mineralization function in vitro and in vivo (Zhao et al., 2018). (A) CCK-8 test results after 1, 4, and 7 days of culture, and osteogenic gene expression levels analyzed by RT-PCR after 7, 14, and 21 days of culture (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001). (B) H&E staining results at 4 and 12 weeks. (C) Results of LIVE/DEAD staining after 12 h of culture and cell morphology after 6 h of culture using SEM. (D) Masson’s trichrome staining results at 4 and 12 weeks. ALP, alkaline phosphatase; CCK-8, Cell Counting Kit-8; CMC, carboxymethyl chitosan; COL1, collagen type 1; HA, hydroxyapatite; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; OCN, osteocalcin; RT-PCR, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; RUNX2, runt-related transcription factor 2; SEM, scanning electron microscopy.
