Caspase-3/7 activity under flexoelectric stimulation of hydroxyapatite ceramics. (A) Brightfield scannint electron image of the base, centre and tip of the crack. (B) Live/Dead staining images. (C) merged images of the crack and the osteocytes post. Caspase-3/7 activity was assayed by the CellEvent caspase-3/7 detection reagent to detect apoptosis in turquoise green and Hoechst 33342 nucleic acid stain to label nuclei in dark blue.
