The effect of mechanical load on human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells, derived from bone marrow. Induction of MSC differentiation in vitro can occur with the appropriate culture conditions and more recently, the application of mechanical load has been implicated in MSC differentiation. Cells derived from MSCs, n...
