Mobile mechanical signal generator for macrophage polarization

Exploration, 2023
The importance of mechanical signals in regulating the fate of macrophages is gaining increased attention recently. However, the recently used mechanical signals normally rely on the physical characteristics of matrix with non‐specificity and instability

Effect of whole body vibration therapy in the rat model of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Background: Steroid-induced Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head (SIONFH) is a skeletal disease with a high incidence and a poor prognosis. Whole body vibration therapy (WBVT), a new type of physical training, is known to promote bone formation. However, it

In vivo cyclic loading as a potent stimulatory signal for bone formation inside tissue engineering scaffold [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2010
In clinical situations, bone defects are often located at load bearing sites. Tissue engineering scaffolds are future bone substitutes and hence they will be subjected to mechanical stimulation. The goal of this study was to test if cyclic loading can be

CD73/5’-ecto-nucleotidase acts as a regulatory factor in osteo-/chondrogenic differentiation of mechanically stimulated mesenchymal stromal cells [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2013
Bone regeneration is influenced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and mechanical conditions. How healing outcome and mechanical stability are linked on the cellular level, however, remains elusive.

Mechanical stimulation of distraction regenerate. Mini-review of current concepts

Гений oртопедии, 2023
Introduction One of the key limitations of distraction osteogenesis (DO) is the absence or delayed formation of a callus in the distraction gap, which can ultimately prolong the duration of treatment.

Enhancement of PC12 axonal extension via hybrid electromagnetic and mechanical stimulation

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2018
In this study, a hybrid electromagnetic and mechanical stimulation system that can apply an alternative current magnetic field (ACMF) and tensile strain fields on PC12 cells was developed to enhance nerve axonal extension. For the ACMF stimulation system,
