Combined Effects of Surface Morphology and Mechanical Straining Magnitudes on the Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells without Using Biochemical Reagents

DNA contents of each group. The proliferation of strained MSCs was increased compared to that of unstrained MSCs regardless of the magnitudes of the stimuli or microgrooves. Mechanical stimuli were applied to MSCs for 3 days from 48 h after seeding (Day 2). Days 5 and 8 refer to the time points immediately after stimuli ceased and 3 days after stimuli ceased, respectively. ( ).
