Figure Lengend Snippet: SaOS‐2 cell viability and cell number subject to different PVPA‐co‐AA polymer treatments at different concentrations (A) Representative SaOS‐2 cells subject to a range of PVPA‐co‐AA polymer treatments at different concentrations stained with fluorescent Live/Dead Double Staining at day 7 day; live cells appear green, dead cells appear red. (B) SaOS‐2 cell number subject to PVPA‐co‐AA polymer treatments at different concentrations measured by AlamarBlue® Cell Viability assay at day 0, 1, 3, 7. The graph shows means ± SD of data. Asterisks indicate significant (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001) difference in fold change vs. the control at the same time point.
Article Snippet: After 72 h media was replaced with the SaOS‐2 osteogenic media (SaOS‐2 OM), which was the DMEM supplemented with 0.5% FCS, antibiotics (100 U/mL Penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin), 10 nM dexamethasone and 50 μg/mL L‐ascorbic acid (Sigma‐Aldrich, UK).
Techniques: Staining, Double Staining, Viability Assay
