The Effect of Cyclooxygenase Inhibition on Tendon-Bone Healing in an In Vitro Coculture Model

Figure 5

Microscopic morphology of the osteoblast, interface, and fibroblast regions during bone-tendon healing in vitro. Seven days following exposure to ibuprofen or parecoxib, murine cocultures were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and representative regions were observed and photographed (20x magnification). values are provided as follows: , , and .
