Fig. 4 — Insoluble elastin and collagen are enhanced by ASC-SF stimulation of SMCs, under varying geometries and loading conditions. (A–D) Discs were analyzed for (A) insoluble elastin percentage of total protein, (B) insoluble elastin per disc, (C) collagen percentage of total protein, and (D) collagen per disc, comparing control NT and NCM treatments with ASC-SF stimulation. (C, F) Strands were analyzed for (C) insoluble elastin percentage and (F) collagen percentage of total protein, comparing NT control treatment to ASC-SF stimulation under constrained and dynamic loading conditions.
