Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells from Discarded Neonatal Sternal Tissue: In Vitro Characterization and Angiogenic Properties

Figure 5

Neonatal sbMSCs express angiogenic genes. All neonatal sbMSC lines expressed VEGFA and ANG1 to a greater degree than HUVECs, whereas half of the sbMSCs lines evaluated also had increased bFGF expression. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey test (° designates versus HUVECs).
