Fig. 6

Quantitative analysis of CD31 (A), α-SMA (B), and vimentin (C) markers are represented in Fig. 6 indicating significant attachment of endothelial, smooth muscle cell, and fibroblast cells to RRA-AP-13 group compared to RRA and DRA groups. Moreover, IHC staining of CD31 (D), α-SMA (E), and vimentin (F) markers are shown in Fig. 6. Brown spots show presence of endothelial, vascular smooth muscle cells, and fibroblast cells in CD31, α-SMA, and vimentin staining, respectively (* difference with NRA, P < 0.05; ** difference with NRA, P < 0.01; *** difference with NRA, P < 0.001; ### difference with RRA/AP-13, P < 0.001). NRA: Native Rat Aorta, DRA: Decellularized Rat Aorta, RRA: Recellularized Rat Aorta, RRA/AP-13: Recellularized Rat Aorta Conjugated with Apelin-13
