Hyaluronic Acid (800 kDa) Supplementation of University of Wisconsin Solution Improves Viability of Osteochondral Grafts and Reduces Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression during Cold Preservation

<div>Representative hematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections of OCTs cold preserved in the presence and absence of hyaluronic acids. Histological analysis of OCTs was performed after 2 weeks of preservation in UW (a), UW with HA800 (b), UW with HA1900 (c), and UW with HA6000 (d). Scale bar, 50 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
