Uranyl acetate (UA) is one of the heavy metals used to stain tissue in sample preparation for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It gives excellent contrast to ultrastructure morphology. Unfortunately, UA is very toxic and has proven to be a carcinogen and radioactive reagent. Meanwhile, UA-Zero is a UA replacement with improved staining property has shown better for staining due to its safety profile and environmental-friendly properties....

To investigate the transplantation of a functionalized self-assembling nanopeptide hydrogel loaded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) into a rabbit hindlimb ischemia model and to evaluate its effect in promoting vascular regeneration in ischemic tissues. Functionalized self-assembling nanopeptide hydrogels were synthesized, and the physical and chemical properties of the hydrogels were observed by electron microscopy. Primary AD-MSCs were isolated, cultured, immunophenotyped, ...
