Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) yield of different tissue sources. a Total amount of MSC resulting from the initial mononuclear cell (MNC) number in the different tissue sources. b Amount of MSC per gram tissue weight resulting from the initial MNC number per gram tissue weight. The figure shows the single values of n = 32 patients as symbols with the median as line. BM bone marrow, CB cancellous bone, VF vacuum filter, SF cell saver filtrate reservoir. Significant differences (Kruskal-Wallis test) are indicated with ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, and *p < 0.05
