Adipose and Bone Marrow Derived-Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Express Similar Tenogenic Expression Levels when Subjected to Mechanical Uniaxial Stretching In Vitro

Figure 4

Effects of cyclic tensile loading on the morphology and orientation of both AD-MSCs and BM-MSCs. The strained cells presented an orientation perpendicular to the strain axis. The substrate was stretched in the direction of the yellow arrow.
