MSC viability in CG scaffolds undergoing CTS. (A) Metabolic activity of MSCs in CG scaffolds in either static culture or exposed to repeated cycles of CTS (10 min at 10 % strain and 1 Hz) followed by 5 h and 50 min recovery at day 1, 3 and 6. (B) Normalised number of cells (relative to number initially seeded) at day 1 and 6 in both static and CTS groups. Data are represented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). b Significantly higher (p < 0.05) compared to CTS group at same day.
