Table 2.

Relevant mechanical properties for different scaffold architectures taken from two orientations. * indicates significance between 0° and 90° testing orientations within a particular template spacing. + indicates significance between the aligned and unaligned scaffolds. ˆ indicates significance between parallel and diamond scaffolds for a particular testing orientation. Significance indications are placed on the higher value.
