Cyclic mechanical loads applied to the skeleton from habitual physical activity result in increased bone formation. These loads lead to dynamic pressure gradients and oscillatory flow of bone interstitial fluid, which, in turn, exposes cells resident in the bony matrix to oscillatory fluid shear stress. Dynamic fluid flow has previously been shown to be a potent anabolic stimulus for cultured osteoblasts. In this study, we used cDNA microarrays to examine early phase, broad-spectrum gene express ...[more]
