Step-by-step procedures for preparing cell sheet/β-TCP composite grafts. Preparing three cell sheet/β-TCP grafts including OM/UM/β-TCP, OM/HUVEC-UM/β-TCP, and HUVEC-UM/OM/β-TCP (A). (B) Macroscopic view of an hMSCs sheet on a dish (I) and a porous β-TCP scaffold (II). SEM image demonstrates the morphology of β-TCP pores (III). Point forceps were used to wrap the cell sheet onto a β-TCP scaffold (IV), thus generating a HUVEC-UM/OM/β-TCP graft (V). SEM images show a very dense extracellular matrix of cell sheet on a β-TCP scaffold (VI, VII).
