Design and Validation of a 3D-Printed Motorized Biaxial Cell Stretching Device

2026-06-26

Abstract excerpt

Mechanical forces have a major effect on cell behavior. Most cells in vitro are grown under static conditions on hard tissue culture plastic, conditions that do not accurately reflect living tissues. The ability of cells to sense and respond to mechanical forces is essential for key biological processes, including development, proliferation, and migration. Disruption of the ability to respond to mechanical forces...
