Characterization of the decellularized bone matrix (DBM) constructs. A Representative µCT images of porcine lumbar vertebrae bone at the vertical section. B A µCT image of a horizontal section of porcine lumbar vertebrae bone. The dotted circles in the image denote the selected area for DBM constructs. C Representative photographs of the processed DBM constructs. The 5.7-mm-outer diameter and 3-mm-inner diameter ring-shaped bone disk was stuck to the 5.7-mm-diameter bone disk to form a hollow construct. D Representative reconstructed 3D µCT images of the DBM constructs showing their porous structure. E DBM constructs were subjected to compression experiments in vitro, including stress–strain curve, equivalent stress (F) and modulus elasticity (G) of the DBM constructs in the compression test
