Local Disassembly of Actin Stress Fibers Induced by Selected Release of Intracellular Tension in Osteoblastic Cell

In adherent cells, such as osteoblasts and endothelial cells, the actin stress fiber structure is dynamically reorganized under changes in the surrounding mechanical environment such as cyclic stretch deformation or extracellular fluid flow. Although many studies have been conducted to clarify the b...
