Effect of immobilized GAGs on platelet release. (A) Number of platelets: significantly higher number of platelets was observed on dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate surfaces compared to both the controls. (B) Correlation between apoptotic Mk number and platelet number—the number of platelets generated correlate closely with the number of apoptotic Mks. (C) Number of platelet per Mk—higher platelet number per Mk was observed on sulfated GAG surfaces at days 14 and 17. *Comparison with polystyrene control, p < 0.05. †Comparison with chitosan control, p < 0.05.
