(a) Co-staining of the different Zn wires implanted in the rat aortas for 1 month with eNOS and αSMA. (b) Quantification of αSMA positive areas in the neointimas of the different Zn wires. (c) EC coverage of the different Zn wires implanted in the rat aortas for 1 month. * indicates p < 0.05, compared between two groups; ** indicates p < 0.01, compared between two groupsBack to article page
