When stained with alizarin red, the bone and muscle parts of the gel model show calcium deposits, which is typical for mineralized tissues.
Scientific Claim
Alizarin red staining reveals calcium deposits in bone and muscle sections of a collagen-agarose hydrogel model with hydroxyapatite gradients.
Original Statement
“a higher presence of calcium deposits was observed in the bone and muscle areas of the interface model (day 14) after which all the tissues presented the same colour intensity.”
