Table 4.

CM_COFZ has a reduced teno-inductive capacity.

Culture conditions	Mean of the number of 3D cells structures/well± S.D
	Circular aggregates	Elongated structures	Tendon-like structures
CTR	0	0	0
CO	0	2.5 ± 0.53*	12 ± 0.83*b#
CMCO	0	2.6 ± 0.71*	7.5 ± 0.86*#
CMCOFZ	4 ± 0.98*ab	5.5 ± 0.75*ab	3 ± 0.78*

Number of 3D cells structures counted in different experimental condition and expressed as the mean ± S.D obtained by analyzing 12 well/ experimental group for each animal (n = 6). Data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA Test followed by Tuckey post hoc test. Statistics was performed on the same typology of structure between the experimental groups. Values were considered statistically significant for p < 0.05 for superscript
