Data from the cell viability assay, qRT-PCR and biochemical assays were analyzed for statistical significance between two comparative specimens by a Student t test or Mann-Whitney U test according to data distribution normality, using SigmaPlot v11.0 (Systat Software Inc., San Jose, CA, USA).
Moderately enlarged microradiographs (1.9×) of comparative primate specimens (Fig. 3) were made with a conventional clinical digital mammography system (Mammomat Novation with enlargement set, Siemens, Germany).
