Abstract

The development of a model to study remodeling of ECM scaffolds in response to cyclic stretching was discussed. The system would allow a cell seeded scaffold to remain viable under cyclic loading for long periods of time. The design criteria included operation in an environment suitable for cell survival without contamination. It also involved the application of complex displacement waveforms while monitoring the loads continuously.
