Mechanical Properties of Primary and Immortal Fibroblasts in Cell Bi-Layers

Mechanical Properties of Primary and Immortal Fibroblasts in Cell Bi-Layers

Immortalized cells are commonly used as analogs for primary cells in many cell mechanics, tissue engineering, and biochemical assays. However, it is not well-established whether immortal cell lines can mimic the behavior of primary cells in more physiological (three-dimensional) environments. For th...
