From: Platelets stimulate fibroblast-mediated contraction of collagen gels
Fixed platelets do not augment fibroblast-mediated collagen gel contraction. Fibroblasts, platelets, fixed platelets (PFA 10 min) or combinations of cell types were cast into collagen gels. The gels were released into medium and the area was measured on four consecutive days. Vertical axis: gel area expressed as percentage of original gel size. Horizontal axis: time (days). Data shown as mean of triplicate. ± SEM were less than 1%. P < 0.001: HFL1/Plt vs. HFL1/fix Plt at all data points.
