Small oscillatory accelerations, independent of matrix deformations, increase osteoblast activity and enhance bone morphology.
A range of tissues have the capacity to adapt to mechanical challenges, an attribute presumed to be regulated through deformation of the cell and/or surrounding matrix. In contrast, it is shown here that extremely small oscillatory accelerations, applied as unconstrained motion and inducing negligib...
