Abstract:
A novel apparatus has been designed that allows for application of long term intermittent cyclic hydrostatic pressure to in vitro cell cultures, while maintaining cell viability on par with a standard incubator. The system has been tested with monolayer cultures, but could also accommodate three dimensional constructs.
