  1. A 0 means no activity; a plus sign indicates low pro-angiogenic activity; three plus signs indicate high pro-angiogenic activity; two hyphens indicate medium anti-angiogenic activity; and three hyphens indicate high anti-angiogenic activity. Values with different letters are significantly different, P < 0.05. SE, standard error; GNS, graphene nanosheet; NG, graphite nanoparticle; ND, diamond nanoparticle; C60, fullerene C60; MWNT, multi-wall nanotube.
