Sox9-transduced BMSCs in C/Gp gels.
(A) Scanning electron microscopy observation of the C/Gp gels. (B) The C/Gp was liquid at room temperature and gelled at 37°C. (C) Live/dead assay of the BMSCs encapsulated in C/Gp gels after 3 days of culture. (D) The MTT assay was used to assess the BMSC proliferation in C/Gp gels over 14 days. (E) The gene expression analysis of the BMSCs in C/Gp gels after 21 days of culture. #P<0.01. Scale bar = 25 μm.
