Different Effects of Implanting Sensory Nerve or Blood Vessel on the Vascularization, Neurotization, and Osteogenesis of Tissue-Engineered Bone In Vivo
Figure 9
Samples of Chinese ink perfusion with HE staining at 12 weeks. (a) Group SN; (b) group VB; (c) group Blank; ×200. At 12 weeks after implantation, the ink staining of new blood vessels was more intensive in groups SN and VB than in group Blank and was most intensive in group VB; the vascular morphology was better and more mature in groups SN and VB than in group Blank and was best in group VB.
