Fig. 5From: Transition from static culture to stirred tank bioreactor for the allogeneic production of therapeutic discogenic cell spheresIn vivo comparison of IDCT grown in static suspension versus STR culture. a The rabbit study design starts with disc injury, 2 weeks later the discs are dosed, 6 weeks after dosing the study is terminated. b Mean percent change in Disc Height Index (DHI) as measured from X-ray from dosing to termination is shown with standard error. After dosing, the disc height increased slightly in the sham group, more in the vehicle groups, and more substantially in the Cell Therapy groups. c Disc Histology shows height restoration and increase in hydration (white areas within center of red disc) for discs injected with Cell Therapy compared to vehicle or shamBack to article page
