Paper-based in vitro tissue chip for delivering programmed mechanical stimuli of local compression and shear flow

Abstract Mechanical stimuli play important roles on the growth, development, and behavior of tissue. A simple and novel paper-based in vitro tissue chip was developed that can deliver two types of mechanical stimuli—local compression and shear flow—in a programmed manner. Rat vascular endothelial ce...
