From: Vascular injury of immature epiphyses impair stem cell engraftment in cartilage defects

Histological analysis of cartilage repair in immature (A) and mature (B) pigs at 24 weeks after MASI (scale bars: 800 µm). Safranin O staining demonstrates the presence of microvasculature in the cartilage of immature pigs (A) while no vessels were identified in mature pigs’ cartilage (B).
