a Expression of Cygb across a passage (48 h) on non-coated and collagen I coated flasks relative to 0 h time point on non-coated plastic. *Denotes significant difference at P < 0.05 according to Mann-Whitney U test. The results represent the mean of three experiments ± SD. b Expression of Cygb in HSC-T6 in the presence of collagen I 48 h after seeding on non-coated plastic with collagen I diluted into the culture media relative to Cygb expression on non-coated plastic. The results represent the mean of three experiments ±SD. c Cygb expression in cells cultured on collagen I coated plates at different concentrations expressed relative to that of Cygb cultured on non-coated plastic. **Denotes significant difference (P < 0.01) from non-coated control according to one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc. The results represent the mean of three experiments ±SD
