Figure 5
The H&E staining and cell quantification results comparing seeding at different rotational speeds in the single rotating inlet bioreactor. Inlet, middle, and outlet tracheal sections 2 h after seeding at (A–C) 1 rpm, and (D–F) 5 rpm; and 24 h after seeding at (G–I) 1 rpm, and (J–L) 5 rpm. Cell quantification results after (M) 2 h, and (N) 24 h in the bioreactor at 1 rpm (1.48e−04 Pa), and 5 rpm (4.11e-04 Pa). Data presented as means with standard deviations (n = 3 each group, ** p = 0.0024, * p < 0.02, ns = not significant with p > 0.05).
