Regenerative capacity of endothelial monolayers on PMP gas exchange membranes. (A) Recovered area per minute. Results are given as means from independent triplicates with standard deviation. Analysis for statistically significant differences was performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. Differences were considered significant at p < 0.01 (**) and p < 0.0001 (****). (B) Representative phase contrast pictures showing the scratched area at start (t = 0) of the experiment and after 12 h. Yellow lines indicate the cell-free area. Scale: 250 µm.
