Multiscale fluid-structure interaction modelling to determine the mechanical stimulation of bone cells in a tissue engineered scaffold
(2015-04)Recent studies have shown that mechanical stimulation, by means of flow perfusion and mechanical compression (or stretching), enhances osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and bone cells within biomaterial ... -
Osteocyte differentiation is regulated by extracellular matrix stiffness and intercellular separation
(Elsevier, 2013-07-18)Osteocytes are terminally differentiated bone cells, derived from osteoblasts, which are vital for regulation of bone formation and resorption. ECM stiffness and cell seeding density have been shown to regulate osteoblast ...
