Effects of Hypergravity on Osteopontin Expression in Osteoblasts.

Effects of Hypergravity on Osteopontin Expression in Osteoblasts.

Mechanical stimuli play crucial roles in bone remodeling and resorption. Osteopontin (OPN), a marker for osteoblasts, is important in cell communication and matrix mineralization, and is known to function during mechanotransduction. Hypergravity is a convenient approach to forge mechanical stimuli o...
