VEGF Retention and Release from the Alginate bioinks. (A) Percentage of VEGF present within the alginate bioinks immediately post printing. *p < 0.05 (B) Cumulative VEGF Release over 7 days in culture. *p < 0.05 vs. low MW Alginate: high MW Alginate (7:3), ^p < 0.05 vs. high MW Alginate: low MW Alginate, and ap < 0.05 vs. low MW Alginate. (C) VEGF Content within the Alginate Bioinks at Day 0 and Day 7 *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001. Error bars denote standard deviation, n = 5.
