The Modulus of Fibroblast-Populated Collagen Gels is not Determined by Final Collagen and Cell Concentration: Experiments and an Inclusion-Based Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fibroblast-populated collagen lattice is an attractive model tissue for in vitro studies of cell behavior and as the basis for bioartificial tissues. In spite of its simplicity—containing ...
Planar Biaxial Mechanical Behavior of Bioartificial Tissues Possessing Prescribed Fiber Alignment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Though it is widely accepted that fiber alignment has a great influence on the mechanical anisotropy of tissues, a systematic study of the influence of fiber alignment on the macroscopic ...
