Figure 6.
Correlation between rat TNF-α and MSC-secreted factors measured by means of multiplex bead assay for monolayer and encapsulated MSC treatment conditions. Only analytes that exhibited significant differences between treatment groups (monolayer versus encapsulated MSC) are depicted. Linear regression and Pearson’s coefficient (r) were derived from z-scores of standardized data. Co-efficients of correlation (r) and significance for each analyte can be found in Table II. *P < 0.05.
