From: Spontaneous hyaline cartilage regeneration can be induced in an osteochondral defect created in the femoral condyle using a novel double-network hydrogel

Figure 3

Gross observations of the joint surface (A-D), histological findings with Safranin-O staining (E-H), and immunohistological findings with type-2 collagen staining (I-L). Black scale bars show a length of 500 micrometers. In Groups II, the defect was filled with the hyaline cartilage tissue rich in proteoglycan and type-2 collagen. In Groups I and III, we observed the cartilage tissue in the defect although it was not homogenous in Safranin-O staining or type-2 collagen staining.
