A Novel Tension Machine Promotes Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Osteoblastic and Fibroblastic Differentiation by Applying Cyclic Tension

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are intraosseous stem cells, and the effects of tensile strain on BMSC differentiation mediate several bone-related treatments. To study the response of BMSCs under tension, we designed and developed a small cellular tension instrument, iStrain. When iStrai...
