Histological evaluation of constructs subcutaneous implantation. Representative H&E stained histological sections of scaffolds after 4 weeks implantation (A-C) and 8 weeks implantation (D-F) of G, GC, and GCD scaffolds. A, D G scaffolds B, E GC scaffolds C, F GCD scaffolds. Collagen matrix and high cell infiltration were observed, particularly more intense in the GC and GCD scaffolds. Arrows indicate osteoid formation. (scale bar = 100 μm)
