Figure 6: Dynamic morphological response of hMSCs to mechanical stresses over time.

From: Frequent mechanical stress suppresses proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells from human bone marrow without loss of multipotency

Figure 6

(a–d) Change in aspect ratio (AR) of hMSCs vs. time for four types of hMSCs (Type A–Type D). Each histogram was extracted from n > 30 cells. Phase contrast images of representative cells for the four types (Type A–D) at t = 20 d are presented as insets. The cell contour was highlighted in yellow.
