FIG. 7.

HMEC+adMSC implants remain vascularized at day 30 with HMEC surviving out to 90 days. Trichrome micrographs of HMEC+adMSC (A) and adMSC-only (B) implants 30 days after implantation show that many erythrocyte-filled blood vessels are visible in the case with cotransplantation while the implant with adMSC-only modules appears avascular. UEA-1 micrographs of HMEC+adMSC modules show large HMEC-derived vessels (arrows) at day 30 (C). A higher magnification image at day 90 shows UEA-1+ staining demonstrating some HMEC survival up to 90 days in HMEC+adMSC module implants (D). Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tea
