Blood-spinal cord barrier evaluation. (A) Day 5 scaffold exhibiting ZO-1 (red) localization to the cell-cell junctions, pericytes (GFP), and nuclei (DAPI) for flow (i) and static (ii) conditions. (B) 4-kDa FITC-dextran permeability test for static condition at (i) 1 min, (ii) 12 min, and (iii) 30 min. (C) 4-kDa FITC-dextran perfused with thrombin for static condition at (i) 1 min, (ii) 12 min, and (iii) 30 min. White dashed lines show microvessel contour. (D) Permeability values. Scale bars, 20 μm (A) and 50 μm (B,C). Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01; statistical significance was calculated using Welch Two Sample t-test.
