Membrane recovery kinetics in vibration-loaded cells. a SEM micrographs of L929 cells were taken before stimulation, during stimulation at fin = 500 Hz, and at 5 min, 30 min, and 60 min after discontinuation of the vibrational loading. Images were taken at ×7,000 magnification (scale bar = 5 µm). b Temporal evolution of cell membrane disruption and recovery upon vibrational loading. The extent of cell membrane perturbation is purely by way of example
