Mechanotransduction activates α5β1 integrin and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways in mandibular osteoblasts
2 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
It is unclear how bone cells at different sites detect mechanical loading and how site-specific mechanotransduction affects bone homeostasis. To differentiate the anabolic mechanical responses of mandibular cells from those of calvarial and long bone cells, we isolated osteoblasts from C57B6J mouse bones, cultured them for 1week, and subjected them to therapeutic low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). While the...
