HERS-H1 cells-derived ELVs incorporated collagen gel enhanced cell survival. (A) ELVs within collagen gel were processed for SEM and confocal microscopy (white arrow). (B) The release efficiency of ELVs within the collagen gel was analyzed using the BCA method. (C) DPC cells endocytosed ELVs released from the collagen gel (white arrow). DPC cells were incubated onto collagen gel filled with DiO-labeled ELVs (green) for 2, 24, and 48 h, respectively. Cells were stained with phallotoxins (red) and nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). (D) Live/dead staining of cultured DPC cells within the ELVs-containing collagen gel. Live cells are labeled with green, whereas red staining indicates dead cells. (E) Death rates of DPC cells within the collagen gel are shown. Scale bars are shown. *p < 0.05 vs. Con.
