Abstract
The nonlinear finite element modeling of cell mechanical environment in hydrogels for intervertebral disc (IVD) repair was studied. Two hydrogels were studied for tissue-engineered IVD repair. The results demonstrated that the micromechanical environment of an IVD cell embedded in a three-dimensional hydrogel is different from that of a cell in its native matrix.
