Beads stored in saline with 2 mM calcium (a, b) underwent a slight decrease in volume. Diameters (c, d) gradually increased in the first week but reached a plateau by the second week. Only LVM 1% continued increasing in diameter through 3 weeks. Shape factor remained constant and greater than 0.9 for all concentrations of LVM and concentrations of LVG greater than 2%
