Representative images and corresponding quantification of relative fluorescent intensity of A collagen II, B collagen I, and C aggrecan, within static and intermittently loaded hydrogels after 28 days in vitro culture. Box-plots presented with median center line and all points shown, with upper and lower quartiles presented and whiskers extending from minimum to maximum, where symbols indicate significance (***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01).
