Abstract
Multi-photon excited fluorescence microscopy was utilized to monitor the biochemical changes associated with the development of silk-based engineered constructs into functional adipose tissue. Based on the intrinsic fluorescence of NADH and FAD, cells within vascularized adipose tissue demonstrated significantly higher metabolic activity than cells in non-vascularized control tissue.
