Adhesion potential of pMSCs to titanium. a CCK8-based assessment of pMSCs proliferation and viability demonstrating significantly higher values on titanium versus glass surface at 4, 24 and 72 h. NIH-3T3 has been used as a positive control. (Ti: Titanium; n = 3; *p < 0.05 between Ti and Glass) b Measurement of intracellular levels of the focal adhesion protein vinculin in pMSCs on titanium versus glass surface at 4, 24 and 72 h. NIH-3T3 has been used as a positive control. (Ti: Titanium; n = 3; *p < 0.05 between Ti and Glass) c Centrifugation based functional test of pMSCs adhesion to titanium, where control-post is the sham group; 350 g and 500 g are the two centrifugal forces tested. Keratinocytes have been used as a positive control. (n = 3; *p < 0.05)
