  1. Expression Fold Differences represent the ratio of means of (Target Gene/Actb)Group A/(Target Gene/Actb)Group B. PERI: peritenon-derived progenitors; TP: tendon proper-derived progenitors. Days in culture: 7 days in construct (7), 45 days in construct (45); +: with GDF5 supplementation. Statistical significance of fold changes are in bold (aP <0.05; bP <0.01); two-tailed unpaired Mann–Whitney-Wilcoxon tests were performed. Graphical representations of the data are found in Figure 5.
