Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 10. A) The qualitative and quantitative results of Alizarin red staining (ARS) for Saos-2 osteoblast cells, after 21 days of incubation on PEEK samples from different groups, are presented. Microscopic images reveal stained mineralized aggregates on samples at 10 × and 50 × magnification, corresponding to the areas outlined in white. White arrows highlight trabecular structures observed on P4 and P15 samples. B) The OD value of the osteogenic mineralization rate of the un treated group P0 served as reference and was set to 100 %. * significant difference between the untreated (P0) and the modified groups (p < 0.05).
Article Snippet: Additionally, a human osteogenic sarcoma cell line (Saos-2, DSMZ GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany) was employed to test the osteogenic differentiation potential.
