High Time Resolution Time-Lapse Imaging Reveals Continuous Existence and Rotation of Stress Fibers under Cyclic Stretch in HUVEC

High Time Resolution Time-Lapse Imaging Reveals Continuous Existence and Rotation of Stress Fibers under Cyclic Stretch in HUVEC

Cells under cyclic stretch sense their environments and induce responses such as actin stress fiber (SF) reorientation and morphological changes. These physiological responses are thought to occur when cells sense incompatibility between SF orientation and stretching direction. This hypothesis requi...
