Abstract
The effect of dynamic fluid pressure on cell proliferation in periosteal tissue cultures was determined in explants from 60 immature New Zealand White rabbits. Dynamic fluid pressure increased proliferation of periosteal cells significantly, as indicated by a significant increase in [3H]thymidine uptake at all time points and a higher amount of DNA compared with control values. Cell proliferation in the early stages of chondrogenesis was stimulated by mechanical factors.
