Fig. 3From: The rat pancreatic body tail as a source of a novel extracellular matrix scaffold for endocrine pancreas bioengineeringEvaluation of the native vasculature and circulatory resistance to leaks: (a-d) Diluted methylene blue solution was allowed to flow through the left gastric artery and to diffuse throughout the vasculature of the scaffold so that the retained native vascular trees could be evaluated. No blue solution leaked out of the envelope, confirming the integrity of the scaffold envelopeBack to article page
