Vibration represents a micro reciprocating motion of a particle or object along a line or arc relative to a reference position, while the effect of low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) on skeletal system cells is similar to the mechanical stimulation of muscle movement. Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which have been identified as force-sensitive cells, exist in the bone marrows and have the potential of multi-lineage differentiation. Their biological characteristics can change functionally according to the appropriate stimulation in vitro, in order to reach the optimal demand of the stimulation. LMHFV can promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, therefore, the research on its mechanism can contribute to the application of vibration in the treatment of diseases such as osteoporosis, fracture, osteogenesis imperfecta, obesity as well as the promotion of orthodontic tooth movement. This paper summarizes the recent progress about the effects of vibration on BMSCs stem cells in osteogenesis and the possible mechanisms, so as to provide research ideas and methods for studying the mechanical as well as biological changes of BMSCs under vibration stimulation.
