... mechanical stimulation electrical stimulation scaffold-free tissue engineering National Science Foundation 10.13039/100000001 Career Award CBET-0954990 (DTC) In recent years, tissue engineers have sought insight into how micro-environmental stimuli impact tissue development...

...Taly P. Appelman; Joseph Mizrahi; Dror Seliktar Mechanically induced cell deformations have been shown to influence chondrocyte response in 3D culture. However, the relationship between the mechanical stimulation and cell response is not yet fully understood. In this study a finite element model...

...Markus Rottmar; Sabine Ackerknecht; Peter Wick; Katharina Maniura-Weber The process of bone remodeling is governed by mechanical stresses and strains. Studies on the effects of mechanical stimulation on cell response are often difficult to compare as the nature of the stimuli and differences...

... strain and shear stress, very few cyclic pressure systems have been reported to apply stimulation longer than 48 h . However, pertinent responses of cells to mechanical stimulation may occur later than this. To address this limitation, we have designed a new cyclic hydrostatic pressure system based upon...
