Figure Lengend Snippet: Biocompatibility and cell migration of the composite stent. (A) Live/dead staining of IEC-6 cells cultured with the stent, showing cell viability. (B) Hemocompatibility of the stent: (i) hemolysis assay of red blood cells, (ii) corresponding hemolysis percentage. (C) Representative images of cell migration in the scratch assay. (D) Quantification of (i) migration area and (ii) percentage closure over time. (E) Representative Transwell images of migrated cells. (F) Quantification of migrated cells in the Transwell assay. Data were presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001. Gel represents the G 2 S 4 hydrogel group, and Comp represents the composite stent group; the same abbreviations are used in the following figures.
