Histological evaluation of cartilage defect repaired by Gel-nano-sEVs hydrogel. (a) Macroscopic observation of cartilage defect at 12 weeks postsurgery. (b) ICRS macroscopic scores of different groups. Data were presented as mean ± SD of three number of replicates. t-test was applied to each group in order to compare mean beta values. n = 6, ***P < 0.001. (c) Safranin O/fast green staining of repaired cartilage. Scale bar = 250 um. (d) HE staining of repaired cartilage. Scale bar = 250 um. (e) Immunohistochemical staining of collagen II. Scale bar = 125 um. (f) Quantitative analysis of immunohistochemical staining of collagen II. (g) ICRS visual histological scores of different groups. Data were presented as mean ± SD of three number of replicates. t-test was applied to each group in order to compare mean beta values. n = 6, ***P < 0.001.
