Adhesion potential in fresh samples at 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 24 h post-seeding (solid histograms) and cryopreserved samples at 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 24 h post-thaw (patterned histograms). Data is presented as the average of triplicates from three different experiments. Bars represent ± SD. *Significant statistical difference between cryopreserved and fresh samples at each time point at p ≤ 0.05
