 Nestin+ cell migration from retinal explants

Culture conditions Number of nestin+ cells migrated from retinal regions
Posterior Mid-peripheral Anterior
Data are tabulated to show the effect of different growth factors on nestin+ cell migration from retinal explants of different retinal regions. Values presented are means calculated from different experimental runs. Standard deviation (SD) values are cited.
Medium alone 0 (0) 1 (1.7) 7 (11)
Medium alone + 10% FCS 6 (6.4) 5 (3.8) 10 (1.5)
FGF 11 (10.8) 30 (27.5) 41 (19.5)
FGF + 10% FCS 21 (14.8) 100 (33.2) 106 (27.5)
FGF + EGF 13 (17.6) 40 (29.7) 34 (29.5)
FGF + EGF + 10% FCS 18 (19.1) 100 (49.3) 105 (22.9)
