Effects of Low Magnitude Vibration on Mesenchymal Stem Cell Osteogenic Potential and Phenotype.
Mechanical stimulation, particularly low magnitude vibration (LMV), has been shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD) in vivo and the osteogenic potential of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). However, much remains unknown about its mechanisms of action and effects on cell phenotype. To better un...
