(A) Quantitative determination of extracellular matrix mineralization with hMSCs cultures in the presence of PA, SrPhy or ZnPhy at 5 and 10 µg/mL after 21 days. The results for each concentration were statistically compared relative to the control group (osteogenic-DMEM) (ANOVA, *** p < 0.001, Tukey’s test), and between the two concentrations tested in each compound (ANOVA, # p < 0.001, Tukey’s test). The results are represented as the mean AzR concentration (mM) ± SD (n = 3). (B) Representative microscopic images (4×) of the AzR staining after 21 days of culture. Scale bars correspond to 500 µm.
