Figure 8: Pore morphology after exposure to strain for 4 and 7 days. A&C) Pore area and B&D) pore radius ratio as a function of A&B) static strain or C&D) cyclic strain. Pore area significantly increases with strain magnitude after 4 days (p<0.05) and after 7 days (p<0.01) of static strain. Pore area increases in response to cyclic strain up to 10% strain after 4 and 7 days of stimulation (p<0.05). |
