Figure Lengend Snippet: The cytocompatibility and antibacterial activity evaluation of the dECM@QCS and exo@dECM@QCS composite hydrogels. ( A ) Live cell staining was used to investigate the fibroblast proliferation (Scale = 100 μm). ( B ) Cell scratch assay was used to investigate the fibroblast migration (Scale = 100 μm). ( C ) Quantitative analysis results of the cell scratch experiment. ( D ) The CCK-8 experiment was used to detect the activity of fibroblasts. ( E ) The antibacterial properties of different materials were detected by plate counting method. “ns” indicates no statistical difference, * p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: The cytocompatibility of dECM@QCS and exo@dECM@QCS composite hydrogels was investigated by culturing with mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (NIH 3T3, ATCC, CRL-1658TM, Manassas, VA, USA) using fluorescent images and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay [ ].
Techniques: Activity Assay, Staining, Wound Healing Assay, Migration, CCK-8 Assay
