title = "Mechanical testing of cartilage constructs",
abstract = "A key goal of functional cartilage tissue engineering is to develop constructs with mechanical properties approaching those of the native tissue. Herein we describe a number of tests to characterize the mechanical properties of tissue engineered cartilage. Specifically, methods to determine the equilibrium confined compressive (or aggregate) modulus, the equilibrium unconfined compressive (or Young{\textquoteright}s) modulus, and the dynamic modulus of tissue engineered cartilaginous constructs are described.",
