Bending and stretching stem cells can tell them what cell type to become, according to Canadian researchers. Traditionally, scientists use chemical cues to direct stem cells toward a particular cell fate, but research at McGill University in Montreal has demonstrated that mechanically manipulating stem cells also has the same effect. Dr Allen Ehrlicher, corresponding author of the study, and his team believe that this discovery could aid bone regeneration treatments in patients after traumatic incidents or those with osteoporosis. Dr Anna Wernick writes more about this research for BioNews https://lnkd.in/eDFtfuAR #stemcells #StemCellTherapy #stemcelltechnology #osteoporosis
