Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that many types of cells align in microgrooves in static cultures. However, whether cells remain aligned and also proliferate in microgrooves under stretching conditions has not been determined. We grew MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts in deformable silicone dishes containing microgrooves oriented in the stretch direction. We found that with or without 4% stretching, cells aligned in microgrooves...
