H&E staining of rat cranial defect repair tissue sections in the defect region was taken 4 and 12 weeks post-operation to evaluate new bone ingrowth and intimate contact with host bone. HB, host bone; NB, new bone; RM, residual material. The dotted rectangles designate the interface of the implanted constructs with host tissue. The black boxes represent the regions of enlargement. Scale bar = 200 μm
