Figure 8

Schematic diagram of the process used for meniscus dissection: The medial body of the macroscopically “normal” meniscus was longitudinally divided into three parts: the inner third was used to extract avascular meniscal cells, the outer third for the extraction of vascular meniscal cells. The adjacent section which composed of the inner and outer regions was dissected for histological grading. Figure was created with BioRender.com.
