Scheme for preparing decellularized plant scaffolds. Celery stalks were cut cross-sectionally or longitudinally (2 mm thickness) and biopsy punched (8 mm diameter) to create non-decellularized (non-Decell) porous or fibrous tissues. Non-Decell samples were then decellularized resulting in porous and fibrous Decell tissue samples. Gross and microscopy images confirm that the macro and microarchitecture is conserved post-decellularization. Scale bars: 200 µm.
