2.11. Statistical Analysis

Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). A Student’s t-test was used to evaluate statistical significance. Generally, a one-tailed unpaired test was applied, except with data normalized to control where a “one sample” t-test is appropriate. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Each result has been obtained from at least three distinct cell cultures prepared on different days (n ≥ 3 independent replicates).
