Figure 7.

Glycosaminoglycan, total collagen, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity in the supernatants of healthy and diseased tendon scaffold cultures. Asterisks indicate significant differences between groups with p < 0.01 (**). Significant differences over time are indicated by paragraph symbols for healthy tendon scaffold cultures and by plus symbols for diseased tendon scaffold cultures (§ or + for p < 0.05; §§ or ++ for p < 0.01). Data were obtained using scaffolds from n = 5 different tendons per group.
