MicroCT images of the implanted tissue at day 21. MicroCT images of the whole omental pouch show the vasculature of the implanted tissue. As shown in the panels on the right, the addition of bmMSCs to the implant improved the quality of the newly formed vessels as evident by the resolution of leaky core (the white microfil-rich region) when compared with the ECs alone implant (left). Animals were drug treated. MicroCT, microcomputed tomography. Color images available online at www.liebertonline.com/tea
