Young’s modulus values for control (purple) and 2Gy-irradiated samples estimated using the Hertz model tested by a) microindentation and b) nanoindentation. The modulus values for irradiated samples were significantly lower than control samples using both mechanical tests (*, p < 0.001, n = 15). Error bars show ±standard deviation.
