Effects of microencapsulation and chondrogenic medium (CM) on angiogenic factor expression and secretion. (A) Diagram of adipose stem cell (ASC) monolayer (ML) and microbead (μB) treatments with growth medium (GM) and CM prior to mRNA and media collections. (B) mRNA levels isolated after 5 days of culture and (C) growth factor production over the last 24 hours from ASCs, chondrocytes (chond), and liver cells (liv) (n = 6 ± SE). *P < 0.05 vs. chond; #P < 0.05 vs. ASCs; ^P < 0.05 vs. ASC microbeads (ASC + μB).
