Folding artificial mucosa with cell-laden hydrogels guided by mechanics models

Folding artificial mucosa with cell-laden hydrogels guided by mechanics models

The surfaces of many hollow or tubular tissues/organs in our respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts are covered by mucosa with folded patterns. The patterns are induced by mechanical instability of the mucosa under compression due to constrained growth. Recapitulating this folding proc...
