Cell differentiation by mechanical stress.
Growth factors, hormones, and other regulatory molecules are traditionally required in tissue engineering studies to direct the differentiation of progenitor cells along specific lineages. We demonstrate that mechanical stimulation in vitro, without ligament-selective exogenous growth and differentiation factors, induces the differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells from the bone marrow i...
متن کاملSignal transduction and mechanical stress.
Bone undergoes a constant process of remodeling in which mass is retained or lost in response to the relative activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Weight-bearing exercise-which is critical for retaining skeletal integrity-promotes osteoblast function, whereas a lack of mechanical stimulation, as seen during spaceflight or prolonged bed rest, can lead to osteoporosis. Thus, understanding mec...
متن کاملPolycystins From Mechanosensation to Gene Regulation
Polycystin proteins have been suggested to form mechanosensory transduction complexes involved in a variety of biological functions including sperm fertilization, mating behavior, and asymmetric gene expression in different species. Furthermore, their dysfunction is the cause of cyst formation in human kidney disease. This review focuses on the pros and cons of their candidacy as mechanically g...
متن کاملMechanical stress induces profound remodelling of keratin filaments and cell junctions in epidermolysis bullosa simplex keratinocytes.
The outer epidermal layer of the skin is an epithelium with remarkable protective barrier functions, which is subject to pronounced physical stress in its day-to-day function. A major candidate component for absorbing this stress is the K5/K14 keratin intermediate filament network. To investigate the part played by keratins in stress resilience, keratinocyte cell lines were subjected to mechani...
متن کاملIn Vitro 3D Bone Response to Fluid Flow-induced Shear Stress and Mechanical Strain
INTRODUCTION Mechanical loading is a critical factor in the bone remodeling process and subsequently the strength and structure of bone. Trabecular bone is subjected to a complex physical environment due to its complex microstructure. This results in bone cells, within the bone tissue, being exposed to various mechanical signals including fluid flow-induced shear stress and mechanical strain. M...
