The Mechanosensing and Global DNA Methylation of Human Osteoblasts on MEW Fibers

Cells interact with 3D fibrous platform topography via a nano-scaled focal adhesion complex, and more research is required on how osteoblasts sense and respond to random and aligned fibers through nano-sized focal adhesions and their downstream events. The present study assessed human primary osteob...
