Figure 8From: Mosaic analysis of stem cell function and wound healing in the mouse corneal epitheliumQuantitative analysis of stripe patterns in corneal epithelium. A: Mean corrected stripe numbers at 5 ages. A significant reduction is evident between 15 and 39 weeks of age from 88.33 ± 8.06 to 52.71 ± 5.79 (ANOVA P < 0.0001, Fisher's PLSD P < 0.0001) with no further reduction between 39 and 52 weeks of age (Fisher's PLSD P = 0.8224). Error bars = 95% CI. B: Mean corrected stripe numbers did not differ significantly between nasal and temporal or between superior and inferior regions (ANOVA, P = 0.5392); as expected, all four regions differed from the whole-eye (ANOVA P = 0.0002; Fisher's PLSD P < 0.05 in all cases). Temp = temporal.Back to article page
