GMSCs provide a promising potential treatment of autoimmune arthritis. GMSC treatment interfered with the progress of CIA, attenuated the bone erosion in epiphyseal and metaphyseal trabecular bone and resulted in improved load-bearing function of proximal tibia. CIA disease also weakened the load-bearing function of proximal tibia. The results show that CIA disease caused bone erosion in epiphyseal cortical bone, which manifested into the adjacent epiphyseal trabecular bone, and also affected the metaphyseal cortical bone. The deformation and strain localized inside proximal tibia were mapped using mechanical testing coupled with micro-CT and digital volume correlation of micro-CT images. Compression testing was performed on mouse tibia to access its stiffness. The advantage of using box plots when exploring data is that several of the characteristics of the data such as outliers, symmetry features, the range, and dispersion of the data can. Bone morphology and mineral density of mouse tibiae were assessed using micro-X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT). 3.4.2 Box Plots The box and whiskers plot, or just box plot, graphically gives the approximate location of the quartiles, including the median, and extreme values. In this study, the effects of human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice are examined by experimentally assessing the microstructure and mechanical behaviors of tibia. As scientists, researchers, and managers working in the natural resources sector, we all rely on statistical analysis to help us answer the questions that arise in the. Statistics has become the universal language of the sciences, and data analysis can lead to powerful results. None of the currently existing treatment approaches is curable.
