Fetal derived embryonic-like stem cells improve healing in a large animal flexor tendonitis model

Table 1 Tendon and lesion measurements based on transverse T1-weighted MRI at eight weeks

	Fetal-derived Embryonic-like Stem Cell treated tendon		Placebo control treated tendon

Lesion CSA	0.34	0.1463 to 0.5407	0.53	0.1069 to 1.1942	0.06

Signal Intensity	0.5	-0.7 to 2.3	2.0	0.2 to 4.3	0.07

Measurements of the superficial digital flexor tendon and lesion were made 16 cm distal to the accessory carpal bone. Tendon, lesion and relative lesion cross-sectional area (CSA) and signal intensity were assessed.
