"The Piuma is a very powerful, reliable, and use-friendly instrument to assess the mechanical properties of both living tissue (eg. tissue explants) and in vitro developing engineered tissue. Furthermore, due to the possibility to perform non-destructive mechanical testing, I found PIUMA a very powerful instrument to follow-up mechanical properties of growing in-vitro tissues, giving the possibility to study tissue evolution over culture time."
