Biochemical analysis with all ratios presented as MSC:FCC. a Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in construct normalized to DNA content. b Total GAG produced by sample calculated as a sum of GAG in the media and GAG in the construct. c GAG retained within construct calculated as a percentage of content in samples to total content in samples and media over time. d Hydroxyproline (hypro) content in construct normalized to DNA content. e Total hypro produced by sample calculated as a sum of GAG in the media and GAG in the construct. f Hypro retained within construct calculated as a percentage of content in samples to total content in samples and media over time. *p < 0.05, versus 100 % (0:100) FCC within time point; n = 4. FCC Fibrochondrocyte, MSC mesenchymal stem cell
