Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Autologous and Proangiogenic Cell Delivery System

Figure 2

MSC mediated shrinkage of PRP gels. PRP gels (120 μl) were seeded either with or without cells in a 96-well plate. Different types of cells were encapsulated (seeding density: 2.5 × 10³ cells/μl gel): 100% MSCs (100 M), 100% HUVECs (100 H), 75% HUVECs–25% MSCs (75 HM), 50% HUVECs–50% MSCs (50 HM). Shown are representative pictures from day 0 (d0), day 7 (d7), and day 14 (d14). White dashed lines indicate the outline of gels. Shrinkage was only observed when MSCs were present in gels.
