Gellan Gum Hydrogel

We set it on a record so that the cells could grow in lines along the grooves in the same way that cells are aligned in muscles. Under a microscope the grooves are more obvious and we could measure things like how wide and long they are.



I think it's great how tissue can be made, especially from products that the body will accept. Just these 2 days have shown me that there is so much to learn and create, and then even more once we have done that.
