Abstract:
Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for vibration induced tissue engineering. Apparatuses, devices, systems and methods are provided for engineering a tissue from stem cells using vibratory signals. A tissue engineering apparatus, device, or system can include a transmitter configured to transmit a signal to a receiver, a receiver configured to receive a signal from a transmitter, a holding structure configured to hold one or more mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), and a vibratory actuator in communication with the receiver and configured to generate a vibratory signal that is applied to the MSC.
