List of tables
Table I
- Composition of the hydrogels solutions - volume added of each
reagent (µL) per one milliliter of solution.
Table II - Mean ± standard deviation (SD) of the Young’s modulus (E) (amount of
force per unit of area needed to deform the material by a given fractional amount
without any permanent deformation) calculated from the shear modulus measured at
1Hz, according to the formula E= 2G’(1+ν), where G’ is the shear storage modulus
measured by the rheometer and ν is the Poisson ratio, assumed to be 0.5 (Moore
2010). Values represent results of measurement of three independent hydrogels (n=3).
* Hydrogels previously characterized in the laboratory (Lourenço, 2012).
Table III - Mean, Median and Coefficient of variation of the Fluorescence values
obtained by flow cytometry for the positive MSCs markers (CD49e, CD73, CD13 and
CD90) for cells isolated and cultured on PA hydrogels and from TCPs (n=1).
