Effects of Mechanical Stretch on Collagen and Cross-Linking in Engineered Blood Vessels
It has been shown that mechanical stimulation affects the physical properties of multiple types of engineered tissues. However, the optimum regimen for applying cyclic radial stretch to engineered arteries is not well understood. To this end, the effect of mechanical stretch on the development of en...
