The effect of growth factors on both collagen synthesis and tensile strength of engineered human ligaments.
The predicted optimal growth media (50 ?g/ml TGF?, IGF-1, and GDF-7 and 200 ?m ascorbic acid) was then validated in two separate trials: showing a 5.7-fold greater MTL and 5.2-fold more collagen than a minimal media.
