Isolation and Characterization of Synovial Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived from Hip Joints: A Comparative Analysis with a Matched Control Knee Group

Table 2

Data on cell samples obtained from the synovium of 8 donors. Values are shown as mean ± standard deviation. Nucleated cells were plated at 10⁴/60 cm².

Source	Sample weight (mg)	Number of nucleated cells (×10^3)/mg	Number of colonies	Number of nucleated cells/colony	Yield obtained (×10^6)
Knee					15.5 ± 22.2
Hip					5.2 ± 4.9

; Mann–Whitney U test. The number of nucleated cells per sample weight derived from knee was significantly higher than from hip.
