Equibiaxial Tensile Strain Affects Calvarial Osteoblast Biology
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mechanical tensile strain is believed to play an important role in regulating calvarial morphogenesis. To better understand the effects of mechanical strain on pathologic calvarial growth, we applied 10% constant equibiaxial tensile strain to neonatal rat calvarial osteoblast cultures and examined cellular proliferation, cytokine production, and extracellular matrix molecule expression. Mechanical strain markedly...
