My current essential question is, "Do environmental conditions effect the normal functioning of extracellular matrix tissue and if so what material prevents this effect?" I chose to focus my research on this topic because the use of extra cellular matrix tissue in medical equipment is vast and in high demand. It's important to understand the science behind the ECM material to truly uncover all of its uses. However, it is equally important to protect the material so that it will function properly with the human body. Thus I chose to look a step further and look at potential environmental conditions that the ECM material might face in transportation and see how the Tyveck packaging prevents this effect. I plan to organize an experiment and showcase my results in order to answer my essential question. In addition, I plan to interview other biomedical engineers who have a background with ECM material to validate my answer.
