Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Picro Sirius Red stained tissue sections (20X) of mice implanted with a 1 cm2 piece of pristine, coated (no IL-4) and IL-4 loaded (40B) mesh at 90 days. Arrowheads indicate the capsule surrounding single mesh fibers. Scale bars represent 100 μm. (b) Image analysis of collagen capsule quality, surrounding mesh fibers (3 images of a single fiber at 20X per sample, N = 8). Bars represent the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance as (**) p < 0.01, (***) p < 0.001 and (****) p < 0.0001, using two-way ANOVA with Tukey's test. All other differences are non-significant.
