Properties of the cell-scaffold constructs 6 weeks after implantation. a The BMSCs-scaffold constructs became obviously vascularized tissue 6 weeks after subcutaneous transplantation. b The CPCs-scaffold constructs became an ivory-whitish tissue, and c the chondrocyte-PHBV constructs became a cartilage-like tissue. There was a significant difference among these three groups in the measured wet weight (d) and volume (e) (*p < 0.05)
