Figure 3. Adh peptide specifically increases endothelial cell adhesion and growth.
HUVECs were seeded on electrospun PCL scaffolds either unconjugated (CTL) or functionalised with Hep or Adh peptides. Cell density was measured at 48 hours post-seeding and is expressed as fold change over CTL (a, N = 4; n = 2). Representative images showing endothelial coverage on the different scaffolds (green: WGA-488, blue: DAPI, b). ***P<0.001. Scale bars: 100 μm.
