Cyclic stretch, but not continuous stretch increases gene transfer efficiency. A549 cells were transfected with DNA using liposomes and then grown for 24 hours with or without stretch. Stretch (10% area change) was either cyclic at 1 Hz or continuous (one 24 hour stretch). *, p < 0.001 for cyclic stretch vs continuous or no stretch.
