  1. Asterisks indicate significant differences for the percentages between LMN and DTN groups using a Chi-square test (see text for details). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. For simplicity and because of the low number of AHV-dependent HD cells in ADN ( < 5%), statistical analyses are only shown for LMN vs. DTN cells. Source data is provided in the Source Data File.
