Biological Assessment of a Calcium Silicate Incorporated Hydroxyapatite-Gelatin Nanocomposite: A Comparison to Decellularized Bone Matrix
Figure 5
Histological sections were processed for sagittal section of the defect area after 12 weeks of implantation and stained with Steven Blue and Van Gieson. The representative section was shown from each group of defects (a), DECBM (b), HGCS with MAPCs (c), and HGCS (d). The area of new bone formation (NFB) was quantified in % using Image J software (e). White asterisk indicates HGCS material, (scale bars: 1 mm). Black arrows represent the margin of the defect.
