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 11

Treated defects show better lateral repair tissue integration with the bone plate than control defects. Panels (A-C, G-I) show collagen type II-stained sections and Panels (D-F, J-L) show collagen type I-stained sagittal sections from control defects (A-F) and treated defects (G-L) 21 days post-treatment). Symbols: AC: Articular cartilage; Black arrows: Detached repair tissue; White arrowheads: neutrophil-rich granulation tissue.
