The Effect of Pulsatile Flow on bMSC-Derived Endothelial-Like Cells in a Small-Sized Artificial Vessel Made by 3-Dimensional Bioprinting

Figure 8

Confocal microscopic image of endothelial-like cell engraftment into the artificial vessel lumen. The inner side of the pumped tube had PCL structures in a cross-striped pattern (black head arrow). There are some live cells (green) (c) and no dead cells (red) (b) in the sodium alginate hydrogel layer (white asterisk). Live cells had engrafted into the lumen (d).
