Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We wish to challenge the current methodologies of inducing cell aggregation to form 3D prototype tissues. We hypothesize that large populations of cells can be chemically cross-linked to form organised tissue like-structures. This self-assembly will allow the rapid formation of complex architectures that promote the homotypic and heterotypic cell interactions required for optimal tissue regeneration and function.
