a) A schematic diagram showed the preparation of MECM using differential centrifugation approach. b), c), d), e) Comparison of the native meniscus and MECM. f) Topography of the various coated surfaces. g) Cellular appearance of meniscal fibrochondrocytes on various coated surfaces. h), i) Safranin O and toluidine blue staining of meniscal fibrochondrocytes after 7 and 14 days on various coated surfaces. All experiments were independently repeated in triplicate. Error bars represent standard deviation (*P < 0.05).
