Cyclic Stress at mHz Frequencies Aligns Fibroblasts in Direction of Zero Strain

Recognition of external mechanical signals is vital for mammalian cells. Cyclic stretch, e.g. around blood vessels, is one such signal that induces cell reorientation from parallel to almost perpendicular to the direction of stretch. Here, we present quantitative analyses of both, cell and cytoskele...
