Abstract
Objectives: We fabricate multi-cellular aggregates of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) using a novel in vivo method that omits supportive flexible substrates. On the basis of the multi-cellular aggregates, constructive and destructive effects of mechanical stimulation are investigated. Methods: hGFs were seeded onto aligned glass slides (one fixed, one mobile) with an initial gap
