Fig. 3. Quantitative measurement of DNA, GAGs and water content of the native cartilage surrounding the defects filled with the different conditions.

Fig. 3

a) DNA normalized to wwt; b) Water content normalized to wwt; c) GAG normalized to wwt; d) cumulative GAGs measured in the medium. Baseline (red) indicates the average value measured at day 0 (# plugs = 3). For conditions A-D, 3 and 4 plugs were measured at days 29 and 57, respectively, while 2 and 3 plugs were measured respectively for E. # represents a significant difference compared to the baseline (#, p < 0.05; ##, p < 0.01), and * indicates a significant difference between the connected conditions (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01).
