Morphologies and characteristics of co-cultured microvascular network. (A) Immunofluorescent images of co-cultured microvascular networks at different time points. (B) Boxplot analysis of vessel alignment for aligned and random co-cultured groups. (C) Average vessel length. (D) Total vessel length. (E) Vessel coverage percentage. (F) Average vessel diameter. (G) Average intercapillary distance. The reduced interquartile measurement deviation of aligned groups indicates less vessel alignment variation compared to the random groups. The microvascular characterization demonstrated a denser and enhanced vascular structure in the aligned group. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01)
