Age-Related Yield of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Bearing the Low-Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor

Figure 1

Frequency of CD271⁺ ADSCs per mL of initial adipose tissue taken from the lower backs of 30 healthy female donors with similar body mass index. (a) Distribution of CD271⁺ stem cell/mL of initial adipose tissue and donor’s age. Data appear normal and a straight line is adjusted with a goodness of fit of 𝑅²=0.71. The fitted regression equation and its 𝑃 value are shown. (b) Box and whisker plots representing the median, lower, and upper quartiles of CD271⁺ ADSC yield/mL of processed adipose tissue for each age range.
