Rapid Rapamycin-Only Induced Osteogenic Differentiation of Blood-Derived Stem Cells and Their Adhesion to Natural and Artificial Scaffolds

Figure 5

Time course experiments to detect the BDSCs capacity to adhere to the titanium scaffold. The increasing blue signal (DAPI) along time course analysis shows the cells’ adhesion and growth on titanium ((a) = after 1 day, (b) = 2 days, (c) = 3 days, (d) = 5 days, (e) = 7 days). (f) shows a graphical representation of (a)–(e) time course analysis performed by Nikon EZ-C1 viewer software.
