Assessment of adipogenesis in hBMSC-laden scaffolds. a Relative expression levels of adipogenic marker genes in hBMSCs cultured under adipogenic conditions (AM) in soft or stiff scaffolds. Data are normalized to that from the Soft-GM group (cultured under control growth conditions). N = 4. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001. GM: growth medium, AM: adipogenic medium. b Oil Red O staining, BODIPY staining, and C/EBP-α immunofluorescence to assess adipogenesis. Bar = 100 μm
