Figure Lengend Snippet: Nanoclay-based inks support sustained release of VEGF in the CAM model. Macrographs during a sample implantation and b retrieval: (i) empty, (ii) AB, (iii) LAB, and VEGF-loaded (iv) AB and (v) LAB 3D-printed scaffolds. c Chalkley score of vascularized samples and controls. d – g Histological micrographs of samples stained for (i, ii) Goldner’s Trichrome and (iii, iv) Alcian Blue & Sirius Red. Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA. Data are presented as mean±standard deviation, n =4, * p <0.05, ** p <0.01, *** p <0.001, **** p <0.0001. Scale bars: a , b 10 mm, d – g 100 µm. VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor; CAM: chick chorioallantoic membrane; AB: alginate-bone-ECM; LAB: Laponite-alginate-bone-ECM; ANOVA: analysis of variance
Article Snippet: Scaffolds with nanoclay and LAP-free were 3D printed, crosslinked following 10 min exposure to 100 mmol/L CaCl 2 and allowed to adsorb for 30 min with recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF 165, PeproTech, USA) at 100 μg/mL at 4 °C.
Techniques: Staining, Standard Deviation, Membrane
