4 Interaction between MSCs and a nerve allograft 69 Figure 2. Graphs of mean measured gene expressions of neurotrophic markers GAP43, GDNF, NGF, PMP22 and PTN in undifferentiated and differentiated MSCs over a time period of 21 days after dynamically seeding both cell-types on a processed nerve allograft. Error bars = Standard Error of the Mean. * = significant difference between groups (p<0.05). Figure 3. Graphs of mean measured gene expressions of angiogenic markers platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM1/CD31) and vascular endothelial cell growth factor alpha (VEGF1) in undifferentiated and differentiated MSCs over a time period of 21 days after dynamically seeding both cell-types on a processed nerve allograft. Error bars = Standard Error of the Mean. * = significant difference between groups (p<0.05).
