Effects of mechanical stimulation on the reprogramming of somatic cells into human-induced pluripotent stem cells

Abstract Background Mechanical stimuli play important roles in the proliferation and differentiation of adult stem cells. However, few studies on their effects on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been published. Methods Human dermal fibroblasts were seeded onto flexible membrane-bottom pl...
