Fig 1

Effects of extracts of IVD tissue from 5 different patients, applied at 3 concentrations on the metabolic activity of human MSCs, assessed using a MTT assay. The dashed horizontal line at 0.2 represents the mean of the control samples. All samples were tested in 8 fold. The * denotes a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) compared to the control samples.
