Ultrastructural properties of collagen in engineered and native vessels.
| Engineered vessels | Native vessels | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collagen band periodicity (nm) | 59.2 ± 0.7 (n = 12) | 59.3 ± 2.1 (n = 2) | NS |
| Diameters of collagen fibrils (nm) | 43 ± 1 (n = 13) | 80 ± 11 (n = 2) | <0.05 |
| Diameters of collagen fibers (μm) | 1.8 ± 0.3 (n = 10) | 5.1 ± 1.6 (n = 2) | <0.05 |
NS, not significant.
