Figure Lengend Snippet: Live/dead staining results in Experiment 1 (A, C, E, G) and Experiment 2 (B, D, F, H) of MG-63 cells cultured on (A, B) Glass, (C, D) Sc _plate, (E, F) Sc _v_static, (G, H) Sc _v_RPM. Living cells stained green by calcein-AM, dead cells stained red by propidium iodide. Phalloidin/DAPI staining results in Experiment 2: (B2) Glass, (D2) Sc _plate, (F2) Sc _v_static, (H2) Sc _v_RPM. Actin filaments stained green by phalloidin, cell nuclei stained blue by DAPI. Glass – cells seeded on glass coverslips and cultured in standard conditions (37 °C, 5 % CO 2 ), Sc _plate – cells seeded on scaffolds in the well plates and cultured in standard conditions (37 °C, 5 % CO 2 ), Sc _v_static – cells seeded on scaffolds, enclosed in the vials (37 °C), Sc _v_RPM – cells seeded on scaffolds, enclosed in the vials (37 °C), and subjected to the 60 rpm (Experiment 1) and 10 rpm (Experiment 2) settings on the RPM. Scale bar =100 µm.
Article Snippet: Cell culture evaluation was performed using AlamarBlue Cell Viability test (ThermoFisher), lactate dehydrogenase activity assay (LDH, Takara, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France), ALP activity assay based on p-nitrophenol (Sigma Aldrich), calcein-AM and propidium iodide (PI) staining (Sigma Aldrich), Alexa Fluor 488 phalloidin and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride (DAPI) staining (ThermoFisher).
