Histopathological analysis of the cartilage tissues obtained from each group (scale bar: 50 μm) to show the development of OA. A: After fixation, decalcification and embedding, 4 mm frontal sections were cut from the knee joints and were stained with HE staining. B: Safranin-O/fast green staining images of cartilage in each group. C: OARSI score. The data in the figures represent mean values ± SD, #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 compared with the Blank group, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the ACLT group
