RESEARCH SUMMARY

Cyclic tensile strain (12%, 0.05 Hz) applied to ATDC5 cells accelerated matrix mineralization and cell hypertrophy, demonstrating mechanical stimulation promotes osteogenic differentiation in 2D culture.

The MechanoCulture T6 applied 12% cyclic tensile strain at 0.05 Hz for 1 h/day over 5 days, enabling controlled uniaxial loading for chondrocyte mechanobiology experiments.
