Micro-CT scanning, H&E staining, and quantitative analysis at 6 and 12 weeks. (a) Micro-CT scanning of bone defect models with ASCs-Bioss compound with different concentrations of CGRP at 6-week and 12-week postimplantation. Histological analysis by H&E staining after 6 and 12-week healing of bone defect models with ASCs-bone powder compound. (b) Quantitative analysis of regenerated bone was evaluated in Tb.N, BV/TV, and Tb.Sp. Notes: H&E staining (stereo microscope, 100x); ; ; . Abbreviations: CT: computed tomography; Tb.N: trabecular number; BV/TV: bone volume to tissue volume; Tb.Sp: trabecular separation.
