a methodology?
Friday, 16 July 2021
Don’t hold us to this, but….
In cultivation of heart tissue three types of cells are needed :
- Muscle cells
- Blood vessel cells
- Extracellular matrix – macromolecules that provide support to the cells including communication and adhesion (collagen, enzymes, other things in a 3d network) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_matrix
These need to be in a certain ratio in the mix.
The cells communicate with each other, find each other, organise and join up and grow to make a spheroid.
We might be able to use this to inspire our creative methodology.
- Find the three (?) types of creative elements and skillsets that represent the muscle, blood and macromolecular support matrix
- Find the ratio of each that works
- It will then self-organise and divide & grow its form
