Comparison of the average tissue stretch λ and the Green-Lagrange strain E for the central region of the TVAL between the present work and other in vitro TVAL mechanical characterizations (values were determined at an equibiaxial Cauchy stress of 24.7 kPa). Results from the present study are reported in mean±SD, whereas other studies are in mean±standard error of the mean (SEM).

Note: Data of Pham et al. (2017) [38] and Pokutta-Paskaleva et al. (2019) [39] were reported as Green-Lagrange strains in their original studies, and the SEM is not available for being transformed into the tissue stretch. Hence, the results were reported in the Green-Lagrange strain.
