FIG. 1.

Schematic overview. Biomaterials of interest used in this study, with bare scaffold (A), decellularized tissue-engineered construct with scaffold remnants (B), and decellularized tissue-engineered constructs without scaffold remnants (C). Before the experiment, all constructs were acellular. The circulating cell population contained the agranulocyte fraction in green and the granulocyte fraction in red. After 5 h of the experiment, the bare scaffold material contained both cell types, the tissue with scaffold remnants contained only the granulocyte fraction and the tissue without scaffold remnants only revealed a surface layer of cells.
