Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells Contribute to Ligament Regeneration and Graft–Bone Healing after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Silk–Collagen Scaffold

Figure 1

(a) After coculture with BMSCs in the S/C group and immersion only in culture medium in the S group for 72 h, the scaffold was rolled for use as a graft to replace the native ACL in a rabbit model. (b) General observation of the native ACL: the arrow points to the native ACL. (c) General observation of the knee after ACL reconstruction with the scaffold: the arrow points to the implanted graft.
