Histology images of the tibial defect and ECM hydrogel mPCL scaffold groups: Unseeded ECM (A–D); Stro-4+ seeded ECM (E–H). Schematic diagram of the tibial defect samples, depicting regions of the histological sections selected for analysis in unseeded and Stro-4 seeded ECM samples (A & E); Goldner's trichrome staining of tibial sections (B & F); Macroscopic images of the tibial sections obtained from either the proximal or distal regions of the tibial defect (C & G); Haematoxylin and Eosin stained sections of the proximal and distal regions of the tibial defect (D, H).
