SEM images of hSC seeded on Perimaix S3 in time. hSCs were already visible in the microchannels in the center of the scaffold at 3 days ((a), (b)) after seeding, where cells adhered (magnification, scale bar 20 μm) to the collagen material. hSCs remained in the scaffold and were detectable up to 7 ((c), (d)) and 14 days after seeding ((e), (f): images (b), (d), (f) and (g) are magnifications of the rectangles in (a), (c) and (e). Scale bars in (a), (c), (e): 100 μm).
