Basically they are just staright line plots of the slope (for binding to an antibody) obtained versus the concentration of different proteins. I'm assuming there are no "old" results and that all the results come from the experiment being described.
Anyway, I'm not sure how to translate "reprennent"
recover, feature, resume all the results obtained??? any suggestions?

Hello,
reprennent = illustrate the results obtained
reprendre = to take up (the results obtained are shown again or "taken up")
I hope this helps.

A better way to explain:
reprennent = to take up in the sense of "repeat". Why "repeat"? Well, the results have already been gotten, so not they're being shown again by the graph. I would never use the word "repeat" in English, though, as it doesn't work. So, you have to use something on the lines of "illustrate" (reflect, etc).

the figures summarize/show all the results
This is how I understand it here.

gather
could also be collect
51 mins
the figures provide an overview of the results
i.e. they reflect the results across the board if 'overview' sounds like they're summarising them

the (graphs?) reflect all the findings/ the consolidated findings
