Figure 1

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and tendon progenitor cell (TPC) proliferation as a function of growth factor treatments and loading. Effects on MSC and TPC proliferation on day (D)3 (normalized to D0) of treatment with combinations of mechanical loading (L), transforming growth factor (TGF)β2 (T), and fibroblast growth factor-(FGF)4 (F) treatment. Left column shows D0 data. (A) MSC proliferation was not significantly affected by any treatment. (B) TPC proliferation was not significantly affected by any treatment, but there was a significant difference between loading and TGFβ2 + FGF4 + loading groups on D3. *P < 0.05.
