Reports summarize biomedical engineering study results from Washington University, Department of Biomedical Engineering
December 24th, 2006
Researchers detail in "Cellular and matrix mechanics of bioartificial tissues during continuous cyclic stretch," new data in biomedical engineering. "Bioartificial tissues are useful model systems for studying cell and extra-cellular matrix mechanics. These tissues provide a 3D environment for cells and allow tissue components to be easily modified and quantified," scientists in the United States report. "In this study, we fabricated bioartificial tissue rings from a 1 ml solution containing one million cardiac fibroblasts and 1 mg collagen. After 8 days, rings compacted to <1% of original volume and cell number increased 2.4 fold. We initiated continuous cyclic...
