Funk, Katrin EngelmannA) Concentration of RNA from amniotic membranes directly after cryopreservation (AM), AMs after mechanical handling before transplantation (AM-transplant), or AMs after being worn on the ocular surface for one week (AM-explant) (n≥3). B) mRNA of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (isoform VEGF-A165a), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) in amniotic membranes immediately after thawing (AM), or AMs after mechanical handling before transplantation (AM-transplant). Bars represent mean ± SEM of three or more measurements. *p<0.05 vs. AM.
