(A) An example of bovine articular chondrocytes (six million cells) grown inside agarose wells on top of Scaffdex Cellceram™ insert scaffold composites consisting of hydroxyapatite (60%) and β-tricalciumphosphate (40%), and cultured for three, seven, and 28 days. (B) The histological sections of chondrocyte/Cellceram™ inserts stained with Toluidine blue for glycosamionoglycans (GAGs) (blue color in upper images) and immunostained for the type II collagen (Col II, brownish color in lower images) after two and four weeks culture period.
