From: Engineered Healing of Avascular Meniscus Tears by Stem Cell Recruitment
Fibrocartilaginous healing of inner meniscus by sequential application of CTGF and TGFβ3 by syMSC recruitment after 6 wks. H&E (a–c) and Saf-O (d–f) staining showed integrated fibrocartilaginous healing of avascular meniscus tears by fibrin/CTGF followed by TGFβ3 (b,e) as compared to fibrin alone, followed by TGFβ3 (a,d). Dotted line indicates the healing zone. Native (c,f) indicates intact meniscal tissues at avascular zone. Scale = 200 µm.
