Characteristics of ASC and bFGF-ASC-HP hydrogel.

(A) Gelation temperatures were measured using a rheometer. (B) Determination of apparent viscosity. The concentration of HP was 16% (w/w). (C) The state of bFGF-ASC-HP hydrogel at different temperatures (4 °C and 37 °C). (D) Schematic diagram of the state bFGF-ASC-HP hydrogel under different temperatures (4 °C and 37 °C). (E) SEM image of the surface morphology of ASC (×1000). (E) SEM image of the morphology bFGF-ASC-HP hydrogel (×1800). Random sampling, n = 3.
