Investigation of cell survival and proliferation on the DCM. a Representative live/dead staining of hTSPCs loaded on the DCM at day 3, 5, and 7. The white rectangle indicates the area shown on the right images at higher magnification. b CCK-8 assay evaluating hTSPCs proliferation loaded on the DCM at day 3, 5, and 7 (n = 8). Bar charts present mean ± standard deviation; ***p < 0.0001. c The cell relative proliferation activity of TSPCs loaded on DCM with that on the cell culture flask (n = 8). ns, no significance. NCM: native cartilage matrix; DCM: decellularized cartilage matrix
