("Aspect") is a Vancouver-based biotechnology company pioneering the development_x000D_
and commercialization of novel 3D bioprinting technology. Bioprinting meniscal tissue is an application of_x000D_
Aspect's technology with substantial potential for clinical application. The goal of this project is to apply_x000D_
mechanical testing protocols using the Mach-1TM mechanical test system (Biomomentum, Laval, Quebec) to_x000D_
successive iterations of bioprinted meniscal grafts. These protocols, developed under our original Engage_x000D_
application, will determine the suture pull-out strength, tensile strength, and compressive stiffness of the_x000D_
meniscal grafts. This is a critical step in the development of a successful meniscal graft., program purpose french : Aspect Biosystems Ltd. ("Aspect") is a Vancouver-based biotechnology company pioneering the development_x000D_
