Figure 2From: Tissue specific characteristics of cells isolated from human and rat tendons and ligamentsEffect of dexamethasone on secondary human patellar (A) or anterior cruciate ligament (B) derived cell proliferation. Cells were plated out in 24 well plates at a density of 5 × 103 cells per well as described above. The cultures were stopped after 1 or 2 weeks and cell number determined by methylene blue staining. * denotes statistical significance compared to appropriate control cultures, p < 0.05.Back to article page
