  1. The full tables are provided in the Supplementary Information (Supplementary Tables 68). For all three types of CNDs the mean value for each incubation condition is given as 〈I′〉 = (I′(R-CNDs) + I′(S-CNDs) + I′(N-CNDs)) 3–1. Deviations are calculated as ΔI′(j) = (I′(j) − 〈I′〉)〈I′〉–1 (j = R-CND, S-CND, N-CND). ΔI′〈I′〉–1 = ΔI′(S-CNDs) 〈I′〉–1 − ΔI′(R-CNDs) 〈I′〉–1 tells the relative difference in fluorescence intensity per cell between S-CNDs and R-CNDs.
