Fig. 10From: Polydopamine (PDA) coatings with endothelial vascular growth factor (VEGF) immobilization inhibiting neointimal formation post zinc (zn) wire implantation in rat aortasECM in the neointimas of the different Zn wires after aortic implantation. (a) Staining of the different Zn wires implanted in the rat aortas for 1 month with MTC, EVG, ARS, and aggrecan. (b) Quantification of MTC positive areas (b), EVG positive areas (c), ARS positive areas (d), and aggrecan positive areas (e) in the neointimas of the different Zn wires. * indicates p < 0.05, compared between two groups; ** indicates p < 0.01, compared between two groupsBack to article page
