Cyclic mechanical stretch stress increases the growth rate and collagen synthesis of nucleus pulposus cells in vitro.
Study Design: A rabbit model designed to investigate the effects of applied cyclic tensile stress on the cell division rate and the collagen synthesis in the rabbit nucleus pulposus cells in vitro.Objective: To evaluate the effects of mechanical stress on nucleus pulposus cells, thus adding to the u...
