Under the image its represented the directionality histograms calculated with the Image J software which represent the frequency of distribution of protein fibers angles (centered on the 0 ¡ã angle). e, f Endothelial cell activation was observed by formation of capillary-like structures on matrices derived from PDGF-stimulated fibroblasts (e) and increased expression of angiogenesis-related markers (f). g Increase expression of ¦Â1 and ¦Â3 integrins subunits in HUVECs from PDGF-derived matrices. *p value£¿<£¿0,05; ***p value£¿<£¿0,001.
