Proangiogenic potential of CKD and healthy MSC-derived EVs. (a) Quantification of scratch wound migration assay. There was no difference (ratio CKD : healthy 0.86, 95% CI: 0.34-1.42, ). (b) Quantification of tubule formation, defined as total length/number of junctions. There was no statistically significant difference between CKD and healthy MSC EVs (ratio CKD : healthy 1.33, 95% CI: 0.52-2.27, ).
