Fig. 4From: Benefits of biphasic calcium phosphate hybrid scaffold-driven osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells through upregulated leptin receptor expressionQuantitative measurement of ALP. MSCs cultured in PLGA/coralline-derived HA hybrid scaffolds or PLGA/BCP hybrid scaffolds had significantly lower ALP activity levels in the control (complete) medium than in the osteogenic medium throughout the 14-day culture period. In addition, ALP activity levels in the PLGA/BCP-group MSCs cultured in the osteogenic medium were significantly higher than those in the PLGA/coralline-derived-HA-group MSCs throughout the 14-day culture period (*p < 0.05, n = 3)Back to article page
