In-vitro rescue of impaired osteogenic differentiation of diabetic BMSCs and PDCs in normal glucose culture. a Optical micrographs (100×) and b quantification (n = 4) of alizarin red staining for osteogenesis of diabetic BMSCs and PDCs rescued by rhBMP-2/7 (45 or 300 ng/ml), rhIGF-1 (15 or 100 ng/ml), or their combinations after 2 weeks in normal glucose (5.5 mM) osteogenic media. *p < 0.05 (ANOVA) for pairwise comparisons with those cultured in osteogenic media without growth factor treatment (* directly above the data bars) or between single and dual growth factor treatments (* above the brackets indicating specific data pairs compared); error bars, standard deviation of the mean. O.M. osteogenic media, BMP-2/7 bone morphogenetic protein-2/7 heterodimer, BMSC bone marrow-derived stromal cell, IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor-1, PDC periosteum-derived cell
