Figure 4From: Vascularization of primary and secondary ossification centres in the human growth plateMorphometric analysis: Number of CD34, CD45, CD133, CXCR4, RANK, RANKL, OPG, RUNX-2 and DLX-5 positive cells/mm2in the resting zone (RZ), proliferating zone (PZ), hypertrophic zone (HZ) and calcification zone (CZ) of the growth plate were counted in 10 fields of 1 mm2(n = 12). Statistically significant differences are indicated as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001.Back to article page
