Effects of Strain Magnitude on Mechanical Responses of Three-Dimensional Gel-Embedded Osteocytes Studied with a Novel 10-Well Elastic Chamber
Osteocytes inside bone matrix play an important role in detecting the local mechanical environment. In order to study their mechanical responses, we have developed a mechanical loading device that can apply physiological and supraphysiological strains to osteocytes embedded in a three dimensional (3...
