Capillary network formation assay after 4 h of culture. (A) Phase contrast microscopy of HUVECs grown for 4 hours on different surfaces: uncoated glass coverslips (control), polymer 8g7 coated coverslips and Matrigel (magnification; x10), inset shows higher magnification of the cells (magnification; x20). (B) Number of capillary-like structures measured. (C) Number of branching points per each capillary-like structure. Data from 3 independent experiments performed in duplicate are expressed as mean ± SD (**P < 0.05 vs. Control).
