Cyclic mechanical strain regulates the development of engineered smooth muscle tissue
We show that the appropriate combinations of mechanical stimuli and polymeric scaffolds can enhance the mechanical properties of engineered tissues. The mechanical properties of tissues engineered… Expand

Impact of a group mind/body intervention on pregnancy rates in IVF patients.
OBJECTIVE To determine if women who were randomized to a mind/body program before starting their first IVF cycle would have higher pregnancy rates than control subjects. DESIGN Randomized,… Expand

Smooth muscle cell adhesion to tissue engineering scaffolds.
Synthetic polyesters of lactic and glycolic acid, and the extracellular matrix molecule collagen are among the most widely-utilized scaffolding materials in tissue engineering. However, the mechanism… Expand

Mechanical stimulation and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling independently regulate osteogenic differentiation and mineralization by calcifying vascular cells.
Ectopic calcification of vascular tissue is associated with several cardiovascular pathologies and likely involves active regulation by vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblast-like vascular… Expand

Quantification of fibronectin adsorption to silicone-rubber cell culture substrates.
As the role of mechanical force in cellular signaling gained recognition, investigators designed a number of devices to deliver controlled regimens of mechanical force to cultured cells. One type of… Expand
