Representative phase contrast photomicrographs of cell emigration and proliferation with SEC. (a) Spontaneous emigration of phase-bright cells (green arrow) “budding” or emerging from the cut surface of suspended atrial tissues at Day 7 of SEC. Magnification 400. (b) Loosely attached phase-bright single cells (arrows) and cellular aggregates (box) at Day 21 in SEC. Magnification 250.
