Mean ± standard error of the mean (SD), N = 3. For each parameter significance was evaluated by a One-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey post-hoc test. Conditions not linked by the same letter(s) are statistically different (p < 0.05). S8 – spinal cord ECM hydrogel 8 mg/mL, B8 – bone ECM hydrogel 8 mg/mL, B10 – bone ECM hydrogel 10 mg/mL, S/F- spinal cord ECM hydrogel 8 mg/ml/fibrin at a 75/25 ratio.
