FIG. 5.

Spatial position of rings during fusion. Human aortic SMCs were preloaded with red or green CellTracker dye before ring seeding. Rings with alternating dyes were then stacked and allowed to fuse for 7 days (A). Tubes were then sectioned and stained with Hoechst dye. Red = CellTracker Red (B), green = CellTracker Green (C), and blue = nuclei (D). Merged image shown in (E). Scale = 1 mm (A) or 100 μm (B–E). Lumen on bottom (B–E). Images representative from n = 3 samples. Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tea
