Figure 1. Cells obtained from severely degenerated IVDs had a decreased proliferative capability and an impaired metabolism compared to cells obtained from moderately degenerated IVDs.

Figure 1

DNA content was determined by the Picogreen assay (A). The MTT assay was used to assess the metabolic activity of the human degenerated NP cells (B). A two way ANOVA was performed with degeneration and media condition as factors, with the results shown in the upper right corner for both assays. Error bars represent SEM.
