To study the effects of physical forces on cell growth and differentiation, researchers must stretch, strain, compress, shear, pull, or apply pressure to tissue culture cells. Numerous procedures have ...

Chronic wounds, especially those caused by diabetes, are notoriously difficult to heal. These wounds are characterized by prolonged inflammation, impaired collagen production, and poor tissue ...

Chronic wounds, particularly those in diabetic patients, present major therapeutic challenges due to impaired tissue regeneration and extracellular matrix (ECM) dysregulation. This study explores how ...

Karin Wuertz-Kozak described her lab test equipment as a gym for cells. Stretching and compressions tests using bioreactors—her lab equipment—can make a difference in understanding how cells respond ...
