Analysis of Alterations in Morphologic Characteristics of Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Mechanical Stimulation during Differentiation into Smooth Muscle Cells

Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be expanded and differentiated intomany mature cell types including smooth muscle cells (SMCs). In addition to growth factor,cyclic stretch contributes to differentiation of stem cells. Mechanical stimuli are criticalto morphological changes, development,...
