Figure 4.
Evaluation of the influence of the distance from the scaffold center on the simulated variables. The color scale in the heatmaps represents the fraction of living cells normalized with respect to the cardinality of the initial population (cell density) or the average value of a specific variable (oxygen and glucose concentrations, Young’s modulus). A bilinear interpolation has been applied. The red vertical bands visible in the glucose concentration panels correspond to media changes and thus to the replenishing of glucose to its original concentration in the cell culture media.
