## Abstract Collagen gels provide a biocompatible matrix for replacing soft tissues, but it is essential to determine whether the mechanical properties of the matrix can be retained after cell ingrowth into the collagen scaffold. We have determined the mechanical strength of four collagen gel compo

## Abstract We have designed and developed a microfluidic system to study the response of cells to controlled gradients of mechanical stiffness in 3D collagen gels. An βHββshaped, sourceβsink network was filled with a type I collagen solution, which selfβassembled into a fibrillar gel. A 1D gradien
## Abstract Fibroblasts can construct a hydrated collagen lattice to a tissueβlike structure that is greatly influenced by initial culture conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cell concentration and collagen concentration on the contraction kinetics and mechanical
