Uniaxially fixed mechanical boundary condition elicits cellular alignment in collagen matrix with induction of osteogenesis

Abstract Osteocytes differentiated from osteoblasts play significant roles as mechanosensors in modulating the bone remodeling process. While the well-aligned osteocyte network along the trabeculae with slender cell processes perpendicular to the trabeculae surface is known to facilitate the sensing...
