Tissue Engineering to Repair Diaphragmatic Defect in a Rat Model

Figure 7

Modeling testing for the decellularized ECM scaffolds in vitro. Within the maximum stretch distance of 6.0 mm and maximum force of 6.0 grams applied to the ECM scaffolds, the results showed the similarity of stress/strain between the fresh rat diaphragms and the decellularized ECM scaffolds of rat diaphragms.
