Local Young’s modulus for Knee (A), Wrist (B), and bilayered constructs (C). Knee and Wrist constructs possessed similar U-shaped profiles, with Wrist constructs being significantly stiffer at all locations compared to Knee. Bilayered constructs appeared to have a depth-dependent compressive EY that is qualitatively similar to native articular cartilage (D). *p<0.05 vs. SZC layer (z/h0=0 – 0.5); †p<0.05 for 3S2M vs. 2S2M; ‡p<0.05 vs. edges (z/h0=0–0.1, 0.9–1); ▼p<0.05 vs. all respective depths in Knee group.
