Figure 10 BMSC+LV-BMP9+P3HB4HB composite bone repair material promoted expression of osteogenic factors in novel regenerated tissues of calvarial defect rats, according to immunohistochemistry assay (IHC). (A) RUNX2 expression in regenerated tissues. (B) OCN expression in regenerated tissues. (C) OPN expression in regenerated tissues. BMSCs – bone mesenchymal stem cells; OCN – osteocalcin; OPN – osteopontin.
