Figure 7.

Gene expression levels of collagen type 1 (COL1A2) (A), alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) (B), and osteocalcin (BGLAP) (C) in hMSCs that were cultured for 28 days in an osteogenic medium on the cryogelated scaffolds (HG_cryo, HG_cryo/HAp, HGA_cryo, HGA_cryo/HAp) show no differences between the groups. Values were normalized to GAPDH as the housekeeping gene and are expressed as fold change relative to the average across all groups, which were set to 1. Values represent the mean ± SD (n = 3/group).
