a) Histological section of the middle region of a PPF/PF-DA polymer alone scaffold. The white scaffold is in direct contact with the surrounding bone tissue (pink). Bar is 100 µm. b) Histological section of the top region of a macrocomposite scaffold showing a thin fibrous capsule (FC) surrounding the scaffold. The porous surface of the scaffold created a pocket where inflammatory cells (IF) accumulated. Bar is 100 µm. c) Histological section of the top region of a macrocomposite scaffold showing disorganized tissue and inflammatory cells at the scaffold-tissue interface. Bar is 100 µm.
