TABLE 1.
Comparison of main quantitative data between both tissues (N = 4 donors x three samples from each donor leading to n = 12 specimens analyzed for each quantification and for each tissue). HP: human periosteum, HFL: human fascia lata, SEM: standard error of the mean, MHC-1: major histocompatibility complex of type 1, GAG: glycosaminoglycans.
