Figure 40.5. Macroscopic and histological evaluation of controls, PM,
and PM/dMSCs implantations at each time point. 13 (A) Bone defects were
prepared with a trephine bar. Controls were defects only. (B, C) The defects
were filled by PM (B), PM/dMSCs (C). (D) At 8 weeks, bone regeneration
in the controls (defect only) was not complete. (E, F) After 8 weeks, new
bone regeneration was observed with PM (E) and PM/dMSCs (F). Sections
of representative implants are shown from each group. The sections were
stained with hematoxylin & eosin. Original magnification
