Figure 8

In vitro colonization of acellular scaffold using MuSCs and FBs. (a) Representative scan images of scaffold cross-sections seeded with MuSCs, FBs or MuSCs-FBs analysed by immunofluorescence analysis using anti-laminin (red) and anti-MyHC antibodies (green). Laminin was used to identify the entire cross section of the scaffolds. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar: 500 μm. (b) Representative images acquired at stereomicroscope of MTT assay performed on unseeded or seeded scaffolds cultured with MuSCs, FBs or MuSCs-FBs. Scale bar: 1 mm. (c) Analysis of cell distribution in scaffold cross-sections seeded with MuSCs or MuSCs-FBs. *P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test; (d) Availability assay by MTT quantification. Data are shown as mean ± s.e.m. of six independent replicates. **P < 0.01; one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
