Development of an in vitro pump: mechanical characterization and surface engineering of elastomeric membranes

In vitro modelling offers the potential of recapitulating human degenerate tissue for physiological studies and pharmacological screening. Yet, few systems have been developed to date, primarily due to the lack of vascularisation in engineered tissue. Here, the development of an in vitro pump is add...
