Abstract: | Physical forces play an essential role in the proliferation and differentiation of many cell types, including fibroblasts and chondrocytes. The expression of certain genes for the formation of extracellular matrix, such as tenascin-c, is directly related to mechanical forces applied to the cells. Therefore in vitro studies under static conditions are limited. The development of biomaterials and cell based therapies could be enhanced by using a bioreactor system which performs perfusion and biomechanical stimulation during cell proliferation and differentiation. Recent investigations of biomaterials comparing static and dynamic cultivation systems showed clearly a significant difference concerning the expression of extracellular matrix proteins, the stability and the elasticity of the materials. As an example the pressure and shear forces of wound tissue were applied in order to develop an implant material for gingival soft tissue augmentation. |
