Figure 2

Representative meniscus histology from donor 9 stained with H&E and TB (avascular region, Grade 2): (a) Oedematous changes were observed in the meniscus surface zone, where the cells often appeared chondrocytic (*) sometimes forming clusters (dashed line). The area surrounding the oedematous region was typically acellular (▲) Note the necrotic appearance of some cells in this area and within the clusters (↗); (b) A higher intensity of TB staining was observed in the oedematous region.
