Masson staining showed gradual maturation of the newly formed bone in both groups. Newly formed bone were stained by heavy blue (as white arrow shown) on week 2 and the blue area shrank gradually as bone become more mature on week 8, indicating osteogenesis initiated as early as week 2 in both groups but osteogenesis process lasted longer in CM-ALs (10%) group than in CM-ALs (0%) group (Magnification: ×40).
