Analysis and Interpretation of Stress Fiber Organization in Cells Subject to Cyclic Stretch

Numerical simulations that incorporate a biochemomechanical model for the contractility of the cytoskeleton have been used to rationalize the following observations. Uniaxial cyclic stretching of cells causes stress fibers to align perpendicular to the stretch direction, with degree of alignment dep...
