Fig. 1From: Endothelial bioreactor system ameliorates multiple organ dysfunction in septic ratsConstruction of the endothelial bioreactor (EBR) system for septic rats. a The protocol for the EBR treatment. b A schematic drawing of the EBR system. c Survival was plotted during a 7-day period (n = 22–25 per group). d Endothelial cells grown on microcarriers were collected before and after the extracorporeal circulation and were stained with DAPI (blue) at ×400 ×Z 1.5 magnification.
