The effect of intermittent static biaxial tensile strains on tissue engineered cartilage

Jackie C. Y. Fan; Stephen D. Waldman

Annals of Biomedical Engineering 38(4), 1672–1682 (2010). Complete original abstract retrieved from PubMed PMID 20087771 through Europe PMC. Exact article methods read in author-deposited text indexed on ResearchGate (Stephen D. Waldman); no local article PDF obtained. The thickness and indentation/relaxation characterization are separate from dead-weight biaxial stimulation. This is not the Fan thesis or the later JoVE protocol. Donor species remains unassigned pending the original sample-preparation section. Month precision comes from publisher citation metadata; no fabricated day.
