Figure S1. Early mineralization patterns of TIs at 2 weeks after ectopic implantation in nude mice. Left: alcian blue staining showing the presence of mineralized cartilage in the top layers of the construct (encircled by dotted black lines) and vascular ingrowth from the bottom layers (black arrows). Right: ÎźCT cross-section confirming the presence of mineralized tissues (encircled by dotted black lines) and nonmineralized GAG-positive tissues, between white and black lines (Visualization of nonmineralized cartilage was possible following incubation with Hexabrix, a cartilage contrast agent).
