Distribution plots produced from the Probability Density Function describing mean ECM accumulation at the steady state condition for each of the modelled constituents, equations (24) and (25). Here, the growth and density rates for both GAG and collagen were incorporated from representative published cartilage engineering experiments (Table 1): a) Freed et al.29; b) Vunjak – Novakovic et al.30; c) Wilson et al.9; and d) Vunjak - Novakovic et al.31. For all distributions, the relative growth factor effect is the same, ρGAG = ρcollagen = 2.0.
