Fig. 4From: Rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, improves neovascularization in the ischemic hindlimb of streptozotocin-induced diabetic miceEffects of rivaroxaban on human EPC tube formation in vitro. An in vitro angiogenesis assay for EPCs used ECMatrix gel. Cells were stained with crystal violet, and the averages of the total area of complete tubes formed by cells were compared using computer software. Data are the mean ± SEM.
