Abstract: The next generation of medical devices and engineered tissues will require development of scaffolds that mimic the structural and functional properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) component ...

Abstract: The ability to create extracellular matrix (ECM) constructs that are mechanically and biochemically similar to those found in vivo and to understand how their properties affect cellular responses ...

Abstract: The importance and priority of specific micro-structural and mechanical design parameters must be established to effectively engineer scaffolds (biomaterials) that mimic the extracellular matrix ...
