Low-Frequency Mechanical Stimulation Modulates Osteogenic Differentiation of C2C12 Cells
Figure 1
Experiments were conducted using an iris-like mechanical device which can stretch a high extension silicone rubber culture surface from 8 to 113 cm2. (a) Iris-like device in the fully closed position at 8 cm2. Scale bar represents 2 cm. (b) Iris-like device in the fully open position at 113 cm2. (c) HESR petri dish prior to mounting in the iris-like device. Scale bar represents 1 cm. (d) Mechanical stimulation device connected to the computer (modified from [16]).
