LIV was applied twice daily at 2£¿h intervals for 3 days outside the incubator at 0.7£¿g¡¯s and 90£¿Hz for 20£¿min. During LIV, all samples were taken out but only sMG£¿+£¿LIV group was vibrated. Samples were collected for analysis 24£¿h after last LIV treatment. b Comparing the cell proliferation and dead cell to live cell ratio using microscopy indicated less cells in field of view (10£¿¡Á), flow cytometry showed that sMG decreases cell proliferation by 2.63-fold (p£¿<£¿0.01, n£¿=£¿6/group). Cell death was not different between difference Ctrl and sMG samples (n£¿=£¿6/group). Group comparisons were made using unpaired T-test (b). *p£¿<£¿0.05, **p£¿<£¿0.01, ***p£¿<£¿0.001, against control and each othe %K Stem cells %K Biomedical engineering %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6520402/
