Figure 2. Hematoxylin and eosin analysis of bladder defect regeneration.
Photomicrographs of total [A–G] and magnified [A1-G1] non surgical controls and bladders augmented with different scaffold groups over the course of the 70 d implantation period. UE = urothelium; LP = lamina propria, SM = smooth muscle compartments. (*) denotes scaffold fragments. Brackets denote area of tissue regeneration. [A–G], scale bar = 2.5 mm. [A1-G1], scale bar = 400 µm.
