Adult Cardiac Progenitor Cell Aggregates Exhibit Survival Benefit Both In Vitro and In Vivo
Figure 4
Aggregate integrity and survival in fluidic manipulations.
A) Aggregates formed in microwells can be easily flushed out from the microwell and centrifuged while remaining intact. B) Aggregate can be easily passed through a 30G needle without loosing integrity. C) A representative DAPI/EthD fluorescent image of aggregates before injection. D) A representative DAPI/EthD fluorescent image of aggregates after injection. E) Quantification of dead CSP cells in aggregates passing a 30G needle using EthD/DAPI fluorescent intensity ratio. (All bars represent 100 µm).
