Table 4.
Results of Mann–Whitney U test performed on extracted features of calcium transients of proximal (less than 100 μm from wound edge) and distal cells. * indicates statistically significant difference where p < 0.05; ** extremely significant difference (p < 0.001). Peak and plateau heights/intensities are in arbitrary units.
