Fibronectin and Cyclic Strain Improve Cardiac Progenitor Cell Regenerative Potential In Vitro

Figure 2

Strain improves VEGF secretion in CPC conditioned media. CPCs were seeded on each matrix for 6 hours and then cyclic strain was applied for 24 hours. Conditioned media were evaluated by ELISA. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test; bars represent mean + SEM; ; -4; -axis: 0–15: strain magnitude (%) and VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor A.
