Cells in the tendon and muscle parts of the gel line up along ridges but don't form proper fibers even after three weeks.
Scientific Claim
Cells in tendon and muscle sections of a hydrogel model align along ridges but do not form organized fibers within 21 days.
Original Statement
“Cells started to align in the channels of the tendon and muscle areas; however, fibre formation was not observed.”
Evidence Quality Assessment
Claim Status
appropriately stated
Study Design Support
Design supports claim
Appropriate Language Strength
definitive
Can make definitive causal claims
Assessment Explanation
The study directly observed cell alignment and lack of fiber formation via histology, so the statement is accurate.
