Fig. 2From: SR-FTIR as a tool for quantitative mapping of the content and distribution of extracellular matrix in decellularized book-shape bioscaffoldsGross, histological and SEM observation of cellularized and decellularized bioscaffolds. Gross observation and size measurement of book-shape fibrocartilage decellularized bioscaffolds (a); HE staining (b) and DAPI staining (c) revealed that cell components were removed and the structure of extracellular matrix bioscaffolds was retained in the decellularized fibrocartilage bioscaffolds; Cells (indicated by arrow) were found adhered to fibrocartilage lacuna under SEM in the cellularized bioscaffolds (d); No fibrocartilage cells were found in the decellularized bioscaffolds, with visible characteristic fibrocartilage lacuna and native collagen structure (e)Back to article page
