Claim 17:
18. A method of generating a three dimensional tissue, the method comprising:
adding to a well a cell suspension mixture, the well comprising a strip of bendable material, wherein the strip of bendable material is inserted into the well at a first end and at a second end opposite the first end so that the strip is curved;
generating, from the cell suspension mixture, a tissue that is affixed to the first end of the strip and the second end of the strip; and
removing the strip from the well, wherein the strip is configured to exert a stress on the tissue after the strip is removed from the well, and wherein the strip exerts a reduced stress on the tissue before the strip is removed from the well relative to an increased stress on the tissue after the strip is removed from the well.
