Figure. 6: Mechanical testing transplanted human size ear pinna:
Graph 1.Ultimate strain, Graph 2. Ultimate stress, Graph 3.Deformation, Graph 4.Elasticity.
In graph 1-4, Methods 2 and M 3, M 5 of grafted ear pinna scaffold showed as remarkable stable mechanical properties as compare to native pinna. Overall recellularization M2 and M5 significantly enhanced elasticity as compared to native cartilage. However, re-cellularised scaffold from Method 2, M3 and M5 should maintain elasticproperties and significance one way analysis (ANOVA) (***p < 0.0001) in comparison to Control. All the decellularised and re-cellularisedM2, M3 and M5 groups were compared with control for elastic (Young’s modulus) properties.
