Table 2. Significantly longer cilia in IS-derived bone cells.
| 0 h | 24 h | 48 h | 72 h | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Controls | 1.94 ± 0.35 | 1.99 ± 0.32 | 2.05 ± 0.66 | 2.16 ± 0.78 |
| IS | 2.66 ± 1.14 | 2.87 ± 1.84 | 2.82 ± 0.81 | 2.80 ± 0.65 |

The average length of cilia in μm ± variance at four starvation time points (0, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h). To compare the length of cilia between IS and non-IS controls, we combined measurements of up to 1000 cilia for each sample (25 fields per sample, in duplicate), at each time point, then used a t-test to compare the mean lengths of cilia in IS vs. control pools. The difference in length was significant across all the time points for IS patients (P value ≤ 0.005), n = 8 (4 IS vs. 4 Controls).
