Cryo-processed

Unlike control and cryo-processed grafts, which showed moderate local inflammation and swift resolution of the transplants with phagocytes, high power-lased samples provoked long-terrn purulent reaction around the graft without appreciable phagocytic scavenging of the debris by phagocytic cells.

However, the shape of axons and the composition of the microtubular and neuronal fiber network differ in comparison to cryo-processed specimens.

Ridges correspond to the tiny depressions observed in ultra thin sections of cryo-processed samples (Fig. 4).
