Optimization of In Situ Indentation Protocol to Map the Mechanical Properties of Articular Cartilage

Tissue engineering aims at developing complex composite scaffolds for articular cartilage repair. These scaffolds must exhibit a mechanical behavior similar to the whole osteochondral unit. In situ spherical indentation allows us to map the mechanical behavior of articular cartilage, avoiding remova...
