Mesenchymal Stem Cell Mechanics from the Attached to the Suspended State

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Mechanics from the Attached to the Suspended State

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are therapeutically useful cells that are typically expanded in vitro on stiff substrata before reimplantation. Here we explore MSC mechanical and structural changes via atomic force microscopy and optical stretching during extended passaging, and we demonstrate...
