From: Subchondral pre-solidified chitosan/blood implants elicit reproducible early osteochondral wound-repair responses including neutrophil and stromal cell chemotaxis, bone resorption and repair, enhanced repair tissue integration and delayed matrix deposition

Figure 1

Chitosan/blood implants form solid, cylindrical hybrid clots with punctate, insoluble RITC-chitosan particles distributed homogenously. (A, B) 1.25x and (C, D) 5x magnification epifluorescence pictures of chitosan-GP/blood (1:6 v/v ratio) implants after solidification in glass tubes. (E) Solidification of the implants in M100 microman pipet tips (arrows) using Tissue Factor, and (F) solid chitosan-NaCl/blood implant (arrow), with some extruded serum.
