Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were cyclically stretched with a inhomogeneous strain field. The cell migratory and alignment behaviors were analyzed. Furthermore, the axial strain threshold of the cells was elucidated simply and precisely by using the result of the cell orientation behavior with the inhomogeneous strain field. The value of the axial strain threshold was about 5.1% in consequence, which was a reasonable value compared with some earlier studies.
