Mechanical phenotyping of MG63s following vibrational stimulation

Nanovibration, a kilohertz-frequency, nano-amplitude mechanical stimulation, has been shown to drive osteogenesis; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Mechanotransduction has been proposed with limited cell population-level evidence. We propose the use of a high-throughput mechanical phenotyping technique, Real-Time Deformability Cytometry (RT-DC), to observe mechanical changes in an osteogenic model, MG63s. We have demonstrated that MG63 cells respond to the nanovibrational mechanical stimu
