Cell-scaffold constructs implanted in vivo for 8 weeks: (A) Control group (H-E staining); (B) “DXM” group (H-E staining); (C) “BMP-7 + DXM” group (H-E staining). The arrow points to the orderly array of the cells on the surface of the interconnected pores. (D) Control group (von Kossa staining); (E) “DXM” group (von Kossa staining); (F) “BMP-7 + DXM” group (von Kossa staining). The arrow indicated hard tissue formation on the scaffold; (G) Control group (Masson’s trichrome staining: blue color indicates collagen and red color indicates cells); (H) “DXM” group (Masson’s trichrome staining); (I) “BMP-7 + DXM” group (Masson’s trichrome staining). The arrow points to a thicker collagen-like matrix in a more organized form along the surface of the interconnected pores; (J) Control group (immunohistochemical staining for DSP); (K) “DXM” group (immunohistochemical staining for DSP); (L) “BMP-7 + DXM” group (immunohistochemical staining for DSP). The arrow points to the positive staining of DSP arranged along the pore surfaces. Scale bars represent 100 μm. Original magnification: ×20.
