Combined Effects of Mechanical Strain and Hydroxyapatite/Collagen Composite on Osteogenic Differentiation of Rat Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a promising source for bone repair and regeneration. Recent lines of evidence have shown that appropriate strain could regulate the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Our previous study demonstrated that hydroxyapatite/collagen (HA/Col) composite also played...
