## Abstract Wnt signaling is important for bone formation and osteoblastic differentiation. Recent findings indicate a stimulating role of Wnt signaling in bone mechanotransduction. However, negative effects of Wnt signaling on osteoblast differentiation and mineralization have been described as we

## Abstract Cellular mechanotransduction, the process of converting mechanical signals into biochemical responses within cells, is a critical aspect of bone health. While the effects of mechanical loading on bone are well recognized, elucidating the specific molecular pathways involved in the proce
## Abstract Fluid shear stress protects cells from TNF‐α‐induced apoptosis. Oscillatory fluid shear stress (OFSS) is generally perceived as physiologically relevant biophysical signal for bone cells. Here we identify several cellular mechanisms responsible for mediating the protective effects of OF
We have previously reported that a physiological range of shear stress induces neutrophil homotypic aggregation mediated by lymphocyte function-associated antigen-I (LFA-1) and intercellular adhesion rnolecule-3 (ICAM-3) interactions. To further characterize the homotypic aggregation, actin polymeri
Human adult bone marrow-derived skeletal stem cells a.k.a mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been shown to be precursors of several different cellular lineages, including osteoblast, chondrocyte, myoblast, adipocyte, and fibroblast. Several studies have shown that cooperation between transforming g
## Abstract Appropriate and controlled chondrogenesis and endochondral ossification play fundamental roles in the fracture healing cascade, a regenerative process involved in highly coordinated biological events, including the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway. To examine the role and importance of t
