Table 2. Fascicle differentially abundant matrisome and matrisome-associated proteins through development organised by highest mean condition (p<0.05, fold change ≥2).
Proteins are arranged into colour-coded divisions and categories. Bar graphs on the right profile the relative abundance of each protein at each development stage, a foetus, b 0 days, c 0–1 month, d 3–6 months, e 1–2 years, with the development age reporting the highest mean protein level also specified.
