“…We obtained similar results with vascular fragments that could reform the microvascular network on Day 9, which was markedly shorter than that on Day 14, as required for normal umbilical vein endothelial cells to form blood vessels (Ben‐Shaul et al, 2019). These vascular segments exhibit an intact microvascular morphology, including stable lumen, endothelial cells, and perivascular encapsulated cells, and most MVFs exhibit stable α‐smooth muscle actin‐positive cells after isolation (Frueh, Menger, et al, 2017; Später et al, 2022). From our results, stable cells were encapsulated with perivascular SMA‐positive around CD31‐positive vessels; therefore, we speculated that this part represented the original MVF that we isolated, whereas the SMA portions stemmed from MVFs.…”
