64%) of the second mode (populations and time) obtained for Tucker3 analysis. At one end we have undifferentiated hMSC (Tissue Culture Plastic, or TCP) and at the other end we have the target state (fully differentiated hOST). In between we plot the data for each stimulus and time point (e.g., NSD2 = no stretch, day 2; SD5 = stretch, day 5). Because the "SD" points lie closer to the target (hOST) than their corresponding "NSD" conditions on days 2 and 5, we conclude that the stimulus "stretch" accelerates osteogenic differentiation when compared to the same stimulus without stretch.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Multiway modeling and analysis in stem cell systems biology"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/2/63</p><p>BMC Systems Biology 2008;2():63-63.</p><p>Published online 14 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2527292.</p><p></p
