Table 2. Significantly longer cilia in IS-derived bone cells.

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).
