Platelet adhesion and activation of different heparinized DLSs.

(A) SEM micrographs of platelets adhered to different scaffolds (from left to right: control, /h-LBL, /h-MPA and /h-EPA). Scale bars: 20 μm. (B) Amount of platelets adhered on each test DLSs. (C) Generated concentrations of platelet factor 4 (PF4) of these DLSs with whole blood, which can act as an index for platelet activation. Values are expressed as means ± SD, n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 vs. the control group.
