Proliferation of tenocytes on connective tissue matrices over 7 days. The viabilities of cells were measured by alamarBlue assay on Day 1, Day 2, Day 4, and Day 7 and converted to cell number, using a standard curve. The proliferation of tenocytes is compared over time for each CTM (A) and compared between CTMs at each time point (B). Data shown are mean ± SD (n = 4). A *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.005. B Asterisk color indicates comparator and corresponds with legend. t p ≤ 0.05, compared with A-CTM, *p ≤ 0.05, compared with I-CTM. Abbreviations: A-CTM, AmnioFill® connective tissue matrix; B-CTM, BioRenew™ connective tissue matrix; I-CTM, Interfyl® connective tissue matrix; TCP, tissue culture polystyrene
