Figure 8.

Growth evaluation of urothelial cells (UCs) (A), and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) (B) seeded on ASC-based self-assembled scaffold. Morphology and growth pattern of UCs and SMCs growing on the ASC-based self-assembled scaffold within 14 days of culture period are similar to that of UCs and SMCs seeded on the culture plate (control). Yellow dashed line marks UCs patches growing on ASC-based self-assembled scaffold (A). Distinctive large nucleus of SMCs growing on ASC-based self-assembled scaffold was detectable in some areas (yellow arrows). Enlarged photo of SMC with distinct nucleaus is also shown (B). The scale bar represents 100 μm. Results are from a representative of three independent experiments.
