Abstract
Cellular mechanics is a branch of tissue engineering and cellular engineering. As one of the important method, loading different mechanical stimuli to culturing cells in vitro so as to study the influence that the stress has on the cells is one of the important fields of cellular mechanics. This paper reviews the experimental methods for mechanically stimulating the cells in vitro, according to the different loading modalities, the methods can be categorized into micropipette aspiration, compression loading, substrate distention, fluid shear, etc. And it also points out their advantages and disadvantages.
