The formation of bone-like tissues. (a) GFP+BMSCs were co-cultured with MLO-Y4 cells in different proportions (3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3) for 20, 28, 35, 42, and 49 days. The 3:1, 2:1, and 1:1 ratios yielded bone-like tissues, whereas the 1:2 and 1:3 ratios did not. (b) The MLO-Y4 monoculture formed bone-like tissue, but the GFP+BMSCs did not. (c) The area of bone-like tissue decreased significantly in the MLO-Y4 monoculture and with the 2:1 and 1:1 ratios on day 28, but the area of bone-like tissue with the 3:1 ratio showed no significant change with extension of culture time.
