Figure 2. Perfusion decellularization of porcine and human kidneys.

Figure 2

(a) Photograph of cadaveric (left) and decellularized (middle panels) porcine kidneys suggesting perfusion decellularization of rat kidneys may be upscaled to generate acellular kidney ECMs of clinically relevant size. Ra, renal artery; Rv, renal vein; Ur, Ureter. (b) Photograph of cadaveric (left) and decellularized (middle panels) human kidneys. (c,d) Corresponding Pentachrome staining for decellularized porcine and human kidneys (right panels, black arrowheads mark acellular glomeruli, scale bar 250um).
