Angiogenesis regulated by cell bricks prevented central necrosis. Evaluation of angiogenesis in PDCM-CB-P constructs at week 4. (A,C) Histological images of infiltration of the capillaries at week 4, bar = 200 m, magnification = 20×. (B,D) CD31 immunofluorescent staining, bar = 200 μm, magnification = 20×. (E) Comparison of the number of blood vessels between the PDCM-CB-P and PDCM-P groups. The valueS represent the cumulative number of all slides examined (n = 6). *P < 0.05. PDCM, particulate decellularised cartilage matrix; CB, cell brick; P, platelet-rich plasma, HFP, high-power field.
