Mechanical Strain Induces Distinct Human Scleral Fibroblast Lineages: Differential Roles in Cell Proliferation, Apoptosis, Migration, and Differentiation
11 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of mechanical strain on human scleral fibroblasts (HSFs) and compare cell behaviors of HSFs from distinct regions. Methods: Primary HSFs were cultivated using a digestive protocol. Cells were seeded on collagen I-coated Bioflex plates, and a FX-5000 tension system was used to perform biaxial mechanical strain in vitro. We applied 10%, 0.5-Hz mechanical...
