In Vivo Healing of Meniscal Lacerations Using Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Fibrin Glue

Figure 3

(a) A cell-treated (Group 1) meniscal section with cellular repopulation of the acellular meniscal tissue and evidence of bridging between the two meniscal sections, especially in the upper aspect of the image. (b) A non-cell-treated section (Group 0) with separation of the repair tissue from the meniscal fibers on the right-hand side (indicative of a less robust attachment). While this detachment occurred during processing, a lack of bonding can be seen on the left side of the repair tissue as well.
