Effect Of Mechanical Stimulation On Mesenchymal Stem Cell Seeded Cartilage Constructs, Karin Wartella Jul 2010

Effect Of Mechanical Stimulation On Mesenchymal Stem Cell Seeded Cartilage Constructs, Karin Wartella

Theses and Dissertations

Cartilage tissue engineered constructs using mesenchymal stem cells were stimulated with 3 different stimulation algorithms to achieve characteristics mimicking the superficial tangential zone of articular cartilage. The stimulation algorithm of both compression and tension without an offset had the best properties out of all the evaluated groups.
