Microtubule dynamics regulate cyclic stretch-induced cell alignment in human airway smooth muscle cells.

Microtubule dynamics regulate cyclic stretch-induced cell alignment in human airway smooth muscle cells.

Microtubules are structural components of the cytoskeleton that determine cell shape, polarity, and motility in cooperation with the actin filaments. In order to determine the role of microtubules in cell alignment, human airway smooth muscle cells were exposed to cyclic uniaxial stretch. Human airw...
