Histological valves characterization: Hematoxylin and eosin/DAPI/Alpha-gal and SLA-1 staining. Representative histology microphotograph of muscle (first table)/leaflet (second table) and wall (third table) of NPV (first line), DPV (second line) and DDPV (third line) after Hematoxylin and eosin (HE, first column), DAPI (second column) Alpha-gal (third column) and SLA-1 (fourth column) staining. (Black scale bar: 100 μm and white scale bar: 200 μm). The black arrows show positive staining. The staining for NPV (both muscle/leaflet and wall) was positive in all conditions (HE/DAPI/Alpha-gal and SLA-1) and was clear
