Abstract excerpt
Preserving the function of human tendon-derived cells (hTDCs) during cell expansion is a significant challenge in regenerative medicine. In this study, a non-genetic approach is introduced to control the differentiation of hTDCs using a newly developed tympanic bioreactor. The system mimics the functionality of the human tympanic membrane, employing a piezoelectrically tuned acoustic diaphragm made of...
