DNA quantification following 14 days culture with 7 days static growth factor treatment and 7 days no treatment static or stretched. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 6 per group. All VEGF and FGF-2 groups are statistically significantly greater than the no growth factor–treated group, p < 0.01. SEM, standard error of mean; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; FGF-2, fibroblast growth factor-2.
