Viscoelasticity of self-organized biphasic cartilage and bone-like scaffold.

Notes: Only the artificial cartilage and the HAP-coated cartilage were measured and compared in terms of viscoelasticity by dividing it into three groups of wet, nondried and rehydrated. A significant difference between the two scaffolds was observed after rehydration. There were significant differences in the viscoelasticity between two groups as following: a vs c: P<0.01, b vs d: P<0.01, a vs e: P<0.01, and b vs f: P<0.01.

Abbreviation: HAP, hydroxyapatite.
