Figure 5. Cytoskeleton organization and expression of CD31 marker.

Figure 5

(a) Aligned scaffolds resulted in formation of highly organized cord-like structures, whereas cells were randomly distributed on the random scaffolds. (b) Random scaffolds indicated less expression of CD31 compared to align scaffolds. Moreover, aligned scaffolds promoted clustering of HUVECs demonstrating the suitability of the aligned architecture to form vascularized networks within 7 days of culture. Scale bars represent 50 μm.
