Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Collagen is a naturally occurring visco-elastic protein and widely used biomaterial in Tissue engineering. Mechanical stimulation of cell seeded collagen constructs and its effects on cell orientation, intracellular signalling and molecular responses have been reported in literature2. Monitoring of cellular responses to mechanical stimulation include synthesis of active regulatory molecules such as growth factors or hormones, changes in matrix synthesis, cell alignment and enzyme release. The aim of this study was to investigate cellular responses to pre strained, stiffer and more organised collagen bio-artificial matrices.
