Figure 3From: Mechanical strain promotes osteoblast ECM formation and improves its osteoinductive potential ALP activity and calcium of MC3T3-E1 cells re-seeded on the different ECMs. The ECM produced by the cells stimulated with mechanical strain (“strain” group) enhanced ALP activity and calcium content at the indicated times. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, between indicated groups. Quantitative results are the means ± standard error of 6 experiments.Back to article page
