Chondrocyte and hBMSCs Cell Proliferation detected by CCK-8 assay, (A) CCK-8 assay measured the cell proliferation of chondrocytes in each group after 24 h and 48 h of co-culture; (B) CCK-8 assay measured the cell proliferation of HBMSCs in each group after 24 h and 48 h of co-culture; (C) Microscopy images of chondrocytes and hBMSCs were taken at 24 and 48 h after treatment. Control: Normal culture conditions without treatment, BMP-2@Pluronic-F127: Cells treated with BMP-2 encapsulated in Pluronic-F127, NGF@Pluronic-F127: Cells treated with NGF encapsulated in Pluronic-F127, NGF/BMP-2@Pluronic-F127: Cells treated with a co-delivery system of NGF and BMP-2 in Pluronic-F127, **(p < 0.01), ***(p < 0.001) (n = 3).
