Effect of Intermittent Cyclic Tensile Strain on Collagen Synthesis by Tenocytes in Isolated Fascicles

Intermittent pattern of mechanical stimulation has been demonstrated to possess different regulatory effects on cell metabolism in many connective tissues, but little is known about tenocyte responses. A previous study has shown that the application of a small number of continuous cyclic strain inhi...
