Viscoelastic Properties. A. Representative plot of rheological data from MC 40kDa / 6.75% demonstrates that the elastic (G’, ■) modulus dominates the viscous modulus (G”, ○) indicating a gelled state at 37°C. This trend was observed for all MC formulations. B. Comparison of the complex modulus (G*) for each MC formulation established a difference in substrate rigidity that was dependent on molecular weight and concentration (w/v) in 1X D-PBS. Data presented as mean ± SEM.
