From: Three‐month outcomes of aortic valve reconstruction using collagenous membranes (biosheets) produced by in‐body tissue architecture in a goat model: a preliminary study

Fig. 6

The longitudinal cross sections of valve leaflets of biosheets (a1-6) and of the autologous pericardium (b1-6) obtained 3 months after implantation and stained with hematoxylin–eosin (HE) (a-1, b-1), Masson’s trichrome (MT; collagen stain) (a-2, b-2), Elastica-van Giessen (EVG) (a-3, b-3), von Kossa (calcium stain) (a-4, b-4), and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) (a-5, b-5). Scale bar equals 500µmm. Arrows in a-3 indicates elastic fibers. Arrows in a-5 and b-5 indicate α-SMA positive cells. a-6 was high power field of a-5. b-6 was high power field of b-5. Scale bars on a-6 and b-6 equal 100 µmm
