QUANTIFYING CELL-DERIVED CHANGES IN COLLAGEN SYNTHESIS, ALIGNMENT, AND MECHANICS IN A 3D CONNECTIVE TISSUE MODEL
Described herein are in vitro quantitative methods directed to 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) organization and mechanics. The methods do not require application of an external force, anchorage, or a scaffolding material in order to culture ECM tissue constructs, and the methods enable quantitative me...

Zusammenfassung: | Described herein are in vitro quantitative methods directed to 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) organization and mechanics. The methods do not require application of an external force, anchorage, or a scaffolding material in order to culture ECM tissue constructs, and the methods enable quantitative measurements without crosstalk noise from variables attributable to external forces, anchorage, and scaffolding material. |
