Tendon Fiber Alignment Bioreactor

Interactive 3D simulator of cyclic mechanical strain conditioning in engineered tendon tissue: watch collagen fibers reorient toward the loading axis, tracking the nematic order parameter and the resulting anisotropic tensile modulus.

Biomaterial Scaffold Design for Tissue Engineering3DModerate60 FPS

This simulator models the mechanical conditioning step of engineered-tendon tissue bioengineering: hundreds of collagen fibers seeded through a cylindrical scaffold construct respond to cyclic uniaxial strain from a bioreactor by rotating toward the loading axis, exactly as fibroblast-remodeled collagen does in a real tendon construct. Adjust strain amplitude, cycling frequency and a time-lapse conditioning rate to watch the nematic order parameter climb and the estimated anisotropic tensile modulus grow, or switch to static culture to see why unconditioned constructs stay mechanically isotropic.

Simulate cyclic mechanical strain conditioning of an engineered tendon construct in a bioreactor, watching collagen fibers reorient toward the loading axis while tracking the nematic order parameter and resulting anisotropic tensile modulus.
