SDF-1α/OPF/BP Composites Enhance the Migrating and Osteogenic Abilities of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Figure 3
Two-dimensional migration assay of MSCs on the four groups of SDF-1α/OPF/BP composites. (a) Scratching assay of MSCs (light micrographs) and (b) Transwell assay of MSCs (fluorescent micrographs stained by calcein AM staining). (c) Scratching assay showed that the wound healing rates of the SDF100 and SDF200 groups were significantly higher () than those of the SDF50 and control groups. (d) Transwell assay showed that the migrating rates of the three SDF groups were significantly higher () than those of the control group on the first day, and the migrating rates of the SDF100 and SDF200 groups were significantly higher () than those of the SDF50 and control groups on the second day. The red line indicates areas without migrating cells.
