Cells morphology.

Abstract

<p>The upper level on the panel showed phalloidin staining: in green the cytoplasm of the cells and in blue the nuclei. At 3d, MSCs (A) and OBs (B) were well spread on BC surface exhibiting their characteristic morphology without any difference among each sample; scale bars 200 μm. Image (C) showed a big multinucleate OCLs (*) and groups of undifferentiated monocytes (white arrows); scale bar 50 μm. On the lower level of the panel SEM images are showed: D and E showed the cytoplasmic extension (white arrows) of MSCs and OBs, respectively; scale bars 5 μm. (F) One OCLs grown on BCs surface, exhibiting the typical apical-basal polarised resorbing morphology (yellow arrow); scale bar 10 μm.</p
