Morphologic analyses of MSCs. Phalloidin-labeled F-actin (red), DAPI nuclear staining (blue) and overlaid fluorescent image of immunostained cellular components (merged) for the MSCs of the control and PEMF-treated groups. After 7 days of culture, the cells were well-colonized throughout the implant surface, demonstrating a star-like shape associated with osteoblastic features. The cells were also able to spread after 7 days. PEMF irradiation resulted in a greater number of cells that were attached to the surfaces.
