Cell viability (A) and cell proliferation (B) at 48 h, and mineralisation at 240 h (C) of MC3T3-E1 cells without treatment (Cell Control) or treated with sol-gel lc.DIPI, mc.DIPI, or hc.DIPI. Data are represented as median and interquartile range in 32 biological replicates. ***p < 0.01 by Wilcoxon test for independent samples.
