Histological analysis of bone-like tissue formed in transplants. Bone formation in vivo in athymic nude mice was examined by Goldner's trichrome staining of paraffin sections of transplants. (a) Transplants of HA-TCP only. (b) Transplants of HA-TCP with hDPSCs. (c) Transplants of DDM only. (d) Transplants of DDM with hDPSCs. Osteoid and lacuna structures were indicated as arrow heads (►) and arrows (→), respectively. Scale bar: 100 μm.
