Alginate microbead synthesis and mechanical properties of the constructs. (A) Schematic of the hUCMSC-encapsulating microbead synthesizer. (B) Microbead size. (C) Flexural strength, (D) elastic modulus, and (E) work-of-fracture (toughness) of CPC containing 50% of hUCMSC-encapsulating beads (mean ± sd; n = 5). The large beads were the same as those in previous studies [17,31,32]. The microbeads were made in this study.
