Figure 4. Confluent Cell Coating on Sintered Ti.
After ex vivo static culture (12 hr), rapid-seeded hCB-ECs formed a confluent cell monolayer on sintered Ti. (A) Control sintered Ti surfaces without hCB-ECs (SEM); (B) Rapid-seeded sintered Ti (SEM); (C) Rapid-seeded sintered Ti (Confocal Microscopy). (Rapid-seeding density: 0.9 × 105 cells/cm2; blue, red and green color: nuclei, cytoplasm and cell junctions, respectively; scale bars: 100 μm.)
