Numbers are aggregated from the indicated rows of Table 1.
SC, spinal cord; M, muscle.

Statistics performed with χ2 contingency table test. H0: spinal cord experiments and muscle experiments regulate spinal cord and muscle regeneration in the same manner. The results show that spinal cord inhibition also reduces muscle regeneration. But muscle inhibition does not affect spinal cord regeneration.
