Table.

The nuclear diameter and number of cells in the constructs were measured and analyzed.

	Control	T1	T2	T3
Nuclear Diameter (µm)	31.9±0.3	^*11.3±0.2	^*11.5±0.2	^*13.2±0.1
Cell Number (×10⁶)	2.48±0.2	^*6.63±0.4	^*6.99±0.5	^*5.14±0.4

The nuclear diameters of the cells in the constructs of all three TGF-β isoforms (T1, T2, and T3) were significantly smaller than controls (*p<0.001). The cell number in the constructs of all three TGF-β isoforms was significantly increased compared to controls (*p<0.001).
