Figure 2: Mechanical properties of chondrogenically-primed hMSC constructs under free-swelling (FS) or 10% dynamic compression (DC) conditions.

Figure 2:

Samples were tested in unconfined compression to determine equilibrium modulus, E´ (A) and dynamic modulus, E´´ (B) at the end of the final loading cycle for each group, in comparison to time-matched free-swelling controls. Data are shown as displayed as mean ± s.d. with individual data points. Differences between groups and time points were evaluated by two-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparison test. The significance threshold was set at α=0.05. Both equilibrium and dynamic modulus increased significantly with time. Significant differences between free-swelling (FS) and dynamic compression (DC) groups are indicated with asterisks. N = 3 – 4 per group.
