Angiogenesis and immune response analysis of the polyurethane (PU), argon (Ar) and Medpor scaffolds over 12 weeks in a subcutaneous implantation in a mouse model. a C31 staining after 12 weeks. b Quantification of vessel formation after 12 weeks. Scale bar refers to 250 μm. P values * < 0.05 ** < 0.01. c Macrophage infiltration over 12 weeks of the PU, Ar and Medpor scaffolds. CD68 staining was similar between the scaffolds within the pores. Scar bar refers to 50 μm. PU; Unmodified polyurethane
