Figure 5. Biomechanical behavior in constructs containing h BMSCs and/or chondrocytes, 8 weeks after subcutaneous implantation in mice. Biomechanical properties were determined 8 weeks after subcutaneous implantation. Data are shown as box- whisker plots. PC = Primary Chondrocyte ; h BMSC = human Bone-marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell ( n=2 experiments with 2 different donors) ; b EC = bovine Ear Chondrocyte ( n=2 experiments with 3 pools of donors) ; b NC = bovine Nasal Chondrocyte ( n=2 experiments with 3 pools of donors). Per experiment, 2 samples were used for analyses. 120 CHAPTER 6
