Spatial distributions of ECM present at the end of the simulated time frame (23.1 days). Nutrient consumption, cellular proliferation/apoptosis, and ECM synthesis are highly inhomogeneous. The major impact of mechanical conditioning is observed at the center cross section where pore fluid convection is more intense, whereas the ends of the construct where pore fluid flow is negligible evolve in a similar fashion in both conditioning regimes.
