Fig. 7

Representative H&E and Alcian blue stained images of in vivo oBMSC micro-pellet repair tissues after 8 weeks. Repair tissue was largely composed of a fibrous tissue and b fibrous tissue with significant vascular and blood cell infiltration (triangle). c In one of 6 defects, a few micro-pellets could be identified; the boxed regions are enlarged to the right, with arrows pointing to micro-pellets. The scaffold was largely degraded, but could be seen in some defects (see asterisks in b and c). Boxes with dashed lines in images on the left are enlarged in the middle (H&E) and right (Alcian blue) images. Scale bars in left panels = 1 mm. Scale bars in middle and right panels = 100 μm
