Fig. 5From: Conductive single-wall carbon nanotubes/extracellular matrix hybrid hydrogels promote the lineage-specific development of seeding cells for tissue repair through reconstructing an integrin-dependent niche Structural and functional analysis of ischemic hearts. a PET/CT imaging detecting the infarct size of ischemic hearts in living animals; b echocardiogram detecting the heart function. The functional parameters, LVEF, LVFS, LVEDD and LVESD were acquired; c Masson trichrome staining demonstrated the morphology and structure of infarct hearts; d Comparison of infarct size and left-ventricle wall thickness of ischemic hearts receiving different treatment; e the fibrosis of infarct area was visualized after Masson trichrome staining and recognized using Image Pro Plus software; f myocardial fibrosis was statistically analyzed among different groupsBack to article page
