OARSI scores of rBMSC treated mice 2, 8 and 16 weeks post DMM or sham surgery. Comparison of the means of the OARSI scores of the articular cartilages from the (A-C) medial femoral condyle, (D-F) medial tibia plateau, (G-I) lateral femoral condyle and (J-L) lateral tibia plateau from all four treatment groups, 2, 8 and 16 weeks after either DMM or sham surgery. Sham/DMM lacZ = rBMSC-lacZ group; Sham/DMM SP = rBMSC-SP group; Sham/DMM αCGRP = rBMSC-αCGRP group; 2-way ANOVA; *p ≤ 0,05; **p ≤ 0,01; N = 4–6
