Research Abstract |
We visualized transport phenomena in developing engineered cartilage tissues. The promotion of mass transfer due to the existence of cells inside test pieces are observed. The cell metabolism increased the diffusion transport. Generated polymers that consist extra-cellular matrices, such as negatively charged keratan sulfate, restrict diffusion transport. We also clarified the effects of advection transport due to the compression on diffusion transport.
