  • METHODS AND DEVICES FOR MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF STEM CELL MONOLAYER AND 3D CULTURES FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20160032234
    Abstract: Devices and methods for stimulating mechanically or electromechanically stem cell monolayer and 3D cultures for tissue engineering applications are disclosed. A bracket is proposed to be used in a disposable stimulation device. A disposable stimulation device is also proposed for accommodating a cell culture in a flexible area. Finally, an apparatus is proposed to mechanically extend the disposable stimulation device to induce mechanical stimulation. Additionally, a pair of electrodes placed at two opposing sides of the flexible area creates an electric field to induce electrical stimulation. Accordingly, a method to stimulate electromechanically a cell culture is proposed.
