Histological analysis of newly formed bone. a Hematoxylin and eosin staining of coronal sections through the midline of defects (between dashed line). Combination of nCS/PRP scaffold containing BMP2-modified MSCs promotes new bone formation. Scale bar =  2 mm. b Higher magnification of hematoxylin and eosin staining shown in A (black rectangle). Scale bar  =  200 μm. c Quantitative analysis of newly formed bone (BV) to the total implant area (TV) (n = 3). ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; ns: not statistically significant.
