Strain and Vibration in Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Figure 3
Effect of microvibration on osteogenic gene expressions in BMSC cellular scaffolds. Cbfa1/Runx2, Col I, ALP, and OC mRNA expressions were assayed on days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 18, 22, and 26. Data show that microvibration greatly upregulated these mRNA levels at different stages of osteogenesis. Each bar represents the mean ± standard deviation (); . SC, static culture. MC, microvibration culture. Col I, collagen I. ALP, alkaline phosphatase. OC, osteocalcin. From Zhou et al., [17] with kind permission from eCM journal (http://www.ecmjournal.org).
