Representative gross morphology and histology of neocartilage engineered to examine the interaction of bioactive (BA) and compressive (S(5)) stimulation. Flat morphology was observed with compressive stimulation. H&E staining showed that cellularity decreased in groups treated with BA, reaching a density similar to native cartilage. Staining for collagen was stronger in groups treated with BA. Staining for GAG was weak in the BA group, whereas the staining was stronger for the BA+S(5) and control groups. The scale bars represent 0.5 mm.
