Abstract:
Measurement of mechanical properties of soft biological tissue remains a challenging task in mechanobiology. Recently, we presented a bioreactor for simultaneous mechanostimulation and analysis of the mechanical properties of soft biological tissue samples. In this bioreactor, the sample is stretched via deflection of a flexible membrane. It was found that the use of highly compliant membranes increases accuracy of measurements. Here, we describe the production process and characteristics of thi...     »
