From: Evaluation of a Miniaturized Biologically Vascularized Scaffold in vitro and in vivo
Macroscopic and immunohistochemical analysis of the mBioVaSc after explantation. (a–d) Macroscopic representation of the scaffold right after extraction after 30 min (a), 3 (b), 7(c) and 30 days (d) in vivo. The inlets show a magnification of the vascular tree. The dashed lines indicate the cross sections cut for immunohistochemical stainings for CD31: proximal to the anastomosis (a’–d’), the distal parts of the feeding vasculature close to the lumen (a”–d”) and through the lumen (a”’–d”’). Scale bar, 100 μm.
