Nanomechanical profiles for normal, aged, and degenerated OA human menisci revealed unique qualitative representation of aging and degenerated/diseased conditions. Healthy normal meniscal tissue present narrow distinct peaks of the three regions while normal aged and degenerated OA samples display a broadened bimodal distribution indicative of increased mechanical heterogeneity across all regions.
