Biomechanical signals guiding stem cell cartilage engineering: from molecular adaption to tissue functionality
In vivo cartilage is in a state of constant mechanical stimulation. It is therefore reasonable to deduce that mechanical forces play an important role in cartilage formation. Mechanical forces, such as compression, tension, and shear force, have been widely applied for cartilage engineering; however...
