Figure 1From: Short-term mechanical stretch fails to differentiate human adipose-derived stem cells into cardiovascular cell phenotypes Effects of mechanical stretch per se (12%, 1Hz) on hASCs morphology. (A) Representative image of phosphorylated ERK expression after 10 and 30Â minutes of cyclic strain, which demonstrates that stretching was efficiently applied to hASCs. (B) Mechanical stimulus up to 96Â hours was not able to promote morphological changes, as demonstrated by microscopy analysis.Back to article page
