| Factor comparison | Cellularity | ALP/DNA | Calcium deposition |
|---|---|---|---|
| No cells versus MSCs | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 |
| No cells versus coculture | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 |
| MSCs versus coculture | p < 0.05 | NS | NS |
| PCL versus PCL/ECM | NS | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 |
| +Media versus −media | NS | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 |
| Day 4 versus day 8 | NS | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 |
| Day 4 versus day 16 | NS | NS | p < 0.05 |
| Day 8 versus day 16 | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 | p < 0.05 |
Significance levels were determined by using four-factor analysis of variance and Turkey's Honestly Significant Differences with the SAS system software. Not significant is abbreviated as NS.
