VEGF and NO expression in hCDC.

<p>(<b>A</b>) TGF-β1 enhances the production of VEGF by hCDC within HyA matrices, an effect which can be reduced by blocking the CD105 receptor. (<b>B</b>) Cumulative expression of NO over 14 days in hCDC encapsulated in HyA matrices reveals the effect of TGF-β1 on NO production. Data represents mean ± SD (n = 3). Analysis performed using one-way ANOVA, p < 0.05. * denotes statistical significance.
