Shear Stress Bioreactor to Study Mechanobiology of Stem Cells
Shear Stress Bioreactor to Study Mechanobiology of Stem Cells
Our project focuses on developing an accurate, low-cost flow shear stress bioreactor to test the effects of mechanobiology on stem cells during tenogenesis, the differentiation of stem cells into tendon cells. Better being able to test mechanobiology's effect on stem cell differentiation would allow a greater understanding of necessary conditions for tenogenesis to occur, leading to the eventual goal of being able to reliably produce replacement tendon tissue for medical purposes.
