Young’s modulus and porosity analysis of native and decellularized testicles. In (a) details of sampling for nanoindentation and porosity analysis, testes were cut transversely in half, the tunica vaginalis was removed to allow the isolation of the tunica albuginea and the inner part of the testis, the samples were mounted on a petri dish using 8 mg mL−1 agarose solution. In (b) Young’s modulus of testis (n = 3 bulls). In (c) porosity data (n = 3 bulls). In (d) correlation plots of Porosity and Young's modulus.
