Robling, A. G., Bellido, T. & Turner, C. H. Mechanical stimulation in vivo reduces osteocyte expression of sclerostin.
We analyzed the neurogenic axon reflex erythema (flare) following phasic mechanical stimulation in normal and in UV-B irradiated skin.
Following injury, rats developed a bilateral persistent hypersensitivity to mechanical stimulation in the territory innervated by the infraorbital nerve.
TDSCs displayed good proliferation and positive expressed tendon-related extracellular matrix (ECM) genes and proteins under mechanical stimulation in vitro.
This Review describes the role of ECM chemical composition, spatial patterning, and mechanical stimulation in the specification of cardiovascular lineages, with a focus on stem cell differentiation, direct transdifferentiation, and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
It is known that mechanical stimulation, in the form of fluid perfusion or mechanical strain, enhances cell differentiation and overall tissue formation.
The success of cell seeded constructs for the repair of collagenous tissues may be improved by the use of mechanical stimulation in vitro.
Intraplantar injection of either neurosteroids alone did not produced any detectable changes in paw withdrawal frequency to the innocuous mechanical stimulation in naïve rats.
The purpose of this study was to investigate a simple tool based on calibrated forceps to induce quantifiable mechanical stimulation in the rat on a linear scale.
All mesenchymal tissues are subjected to mechanical forces in vivo and all fully differentiated mesenchymal lineage cells respond to mechanical stimulation in vivo and in vitro.
Bioreactors are developed to provide adequate mass transfer and mechanical stimulation in order to enhance the biochemical and mechanical properties of engineered cartilage tissues.
