Strain and Vibration in Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 1

Diagram representing the effects of vibration (blue jagged arrow) and cyclic tensile strain (green squiggly arrow) on MSCs. The arrows depict the loading type. The italics detail the in vitro culture conditions in which the differentiation into the indicated lineage was observed. Red lines indicate inhibition of the downstream lineage.
