Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of treatment (cromolyn sodium [CS] and/or protease activated receptor 2 antagonist [PAR2A]) on gene expression in the 4% stiffness agarose gel at 14 and 21 days ( N = 3–6). * p value <0.05. All error bars indicate standard error mean. Statistics = linear mixed model with Benjamini–Hochberg. MC, mast cell; NP, nucleus pulposus.
Article Snippet: In addition to no treatment controls, canine MCs were pre‐treated with 25 μM of cromolyn sodium (CS; Cayman Chemical 21 379), a mast cell stabilizer, 48 h prior to seeding with canine NP cells in 3D agarose gel (NP + MC + CS) as described above.
