Inflammatory response of the host tissue caused by the implantation of tissue engineering constructs. The number of rolling leukocytes, given as cells/min (a); the number of adherent leukocytes, given as cells/mm2 (b); and macromolecular leakage as an indicator of microvascular permeability (c) in postcapillary and collecting venules within the border zones of collagen-coated PLGA scaffolds (hypertensive mice: light gray bars; controls: dark gray bars), PLGA scaffolds additionally seeded with OLCs (hypertensive mice: light blue bars; controls: dark blue bars) or bmMSCs (hypertensive mice: light green bars; controls: dark green bars) immediately (day 0) as well as 3, 6, 10, and 14 days after implantation into the dorsal skinfold chamber (any group, n = 8). Data are presented as means ± SEMs
