Abstract

Bioreactors can offer an advanced platform to provide conditions that mimic the native microenvironment, which can also provide stretching environment for mechanobiology research. Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) are a type of mechanosensitive and multipotent cells, which behave differently in diverse mechanical stretching environments. We have proved the in vitro three-dimensional (3D) mechanical stimulation could closely mimic the stretching environment in vivo. Thus, here we describe applying a customized bioreactor to provide 3D force for mechanical stimulation on TDSC in vitro.
