Creation: Human endothelial cells were encapsulated within a 3D photo-responsible decellularized extracellular matrix hydrogel and cultured for 4 days. The cells migrated and formed a functional interconnected vascular network within the hydrogel. The network was immunostained with Ve-Cadherin (green), F-Actin (red) and DAPI (blue) signal then imaged with BC43 3D fluorescent confocal microscope with a 20X objective.
