Human Endothelial Cell Seeding in Partially Decellularized Kidneys

Figure 1

Vascular decellularization of kidneys. Histological images of the kidneys perfused with (a) saline solution, (b) 0.1%, and (c) 0.01% of SDS or with (d) hyperosmolar solutions. (e) Nuclei count from 8 independent experiments (each with three rats per group) of partially decellularized kidneys vs. untreated kidneys. (f) Vascular permeability assessed with Evans blue dye. For (e, f), data is expressed as . , , and vs. untreated. Kruskal-Wallis test post hoc Dunn’s multiple comparison test.
