Figure 3

Preservation of vasculature structure was verified by (a) SEM and (b) type IV collagen staining (green color) on the circular structure; (c) transmission light image of the same region shown in (b). Arrows in (a), (b), and (c) indicate the existence of vasculature templates. (d) A combined image of the DAPI staining (blue color) and the transmission light image on the section of the decellularized scaffolds. Lack of DAPI staining verified that no nuclear chromatin fragments remained in the scaffolds. Arrow in (d) showed a minute spot of DAPI stain (blue color).
