Effects of cyclic equibiaxial mechanical stretch on α-BK and TRPV4 expression in equine chondrocytes
Background Chondrocytes are regularly exposed to load-induced stimuli and have the capability to sense and respond to applied mechanical stress. However, the mechanisms involved in chondrocyte mechanotransduction are not clearly understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of...
