Daniels(A) Representative image showing apical microvilli (AV) on the endothelial surface of cells attached to collagen RAFT (Col). (B) Representative image showing tight junctions (TJs) between adjacent cells on collagen RAFT (Col). (C) Further evidence of tight junctions (TJs) at higher magnification. (D) Anchoring filaments (AF) from the overlying endothelium are seen extending into the collagen substrate (Col). Scale bars A, B 0.5 µm, C, D 0.2 µm.
