Effects of cyclic longitudinal mechanical strain and dexamethasone on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of cyclic mechanical strain on differentiation markers in the presence or absence of dexamethasone. Human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) from seven donors (32.5±6.2 years) were cultivated with (D+) or without (D-) dexamethasone. A cyclic mechanic...
