Production of a Self-Aligned Scaffold, Free of Exogenous Material, from Dermal Fibroblasts Using the Self-Assembly Technique

Figure 6

“Stretched” cell culture conditions reduced the thickness of the tissue and the cell count. Asterisks indicate when statistically significant differences were found (i.e., ). (a) Thickness of the tissue was determined using photographs of slices stained with Masson’s trichrome. (b) Cell count was also determined from the same photographs. (c) Cell density was determined by dividing the number of cells counted inside the tissue per area of this tissue.
