Figure 2. Bone analysis at 6 wks. Photomicrographs of hematoxylin & eosin (H & E)-stained sections retrieved 6 wks after transplantation of (a) bone marrow stromal cells alone (BMSC) or (b) with endothelial cells (BMSC/EC). (c) Following retrieval of the scaffolds used to transplant the cells, total bone volume was quantified at this time-point by µCT. (d) Bone mineral density was also quantified. Values represent mean ± standard error of the means (unless otherwise noted). *Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), as compared with BMSC condition. Size bars are shown in (a) and (b) (n = 6).
