Mechanical loading has been utilized as an effective tool to direct mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) commitment into cell lineages of mesodermal origin. However, the use of this tool to induce transdifferentiation of MSCs into the neural lineage has never been attempted. In this study, we examined the...
