Histological staining of new bone formation after implantation of scaffolds seeded with BMSCs into critical size bone defects in the rabbit radius.
Notes: The newly formed bone is stained red, fibrous tissue is blue and the scaffolds are black (Van Gieson’s staining); scale bars: 100 μm.
Abbreviations: BMSCs, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; NP B/P, nonprinted biphasic calcium phosphate/polyvinyl alcohol; NP B/P/P, nonprinted biphasic calcium phosphate/polyvinyl alcohol/platelet-rich fibrin; P B/P, printed biphasic calcium phosphate/polyvinyl alcohol; P B/P/P, printed biphasic calcium phosphate/polyvinyl alcohol/platelet-rich fibrin.
