Microgravity decreases the differentiation of osteoblast. However, as this process is
multistage and complex, the mechanism by which microgravity inhibits osteoblast …

Background The aim of this study was to investigate, in vivo, the quality of bone healing
under the effect of a static magnetic field, arranged inside the body. Methods A metallic …

The intense inhomogeneous magnetic fields acting on the diamagnetic materials naturally
present in cells can generate strong magnetic forces. We have developed a …

The static magnetic field was shown to affect the proliferation, adhesion and differentiation of
various types of cells, making it a helpful tool for regenerative medicine, though the …

This study was to examine the effects of mechanical stimuli alone and coupled with some
inhibitors of related signaling pathways on early cellular responses. MG-63 cells were …

High static magnetic fields (HiSMFs) are usually defined as those SMFs with intensities≥ 1
T. Although many studies have indicated that SMFs have positive effects on bone tissue …

Summary A three-dimensional (3D) clinostat is a device for multidirectional G force
generation. By controlled rotation of two axes, a 3D clinostat cancels the cumulative gravity …

Physical stimulations such as magnetic, electric and mechanical stimulation could enhance
cell activity and promote bone formation in bone repair process via activating signal …

Magnetic fields with frequencies lower than 300 Hz and field strengths less than 1 Gauss
(1000 mG) induce a variety of effects in cells and tissues (for reviews see Blank 1995; …

Mechanical unloading causes detrimental effects on the skeleton, but the underlying
mechanisms are still unclear. We investigated the effect of microgravity on osteoblast ability …
