Effect of Electrospun Mesh Diameter, Mesh Alignment, and Mechanical Stretch on Bone Marrow Stromal Cells for Ligament Tissue Engineering

The overall goal of this research project is to develop methods for producing a tissue engineered ligament. The envisioned tissue engineering strategy involves three steps: seeding bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) onto electrospun scaffolds, processing them into cords that allow cell infiltration,...
