Mechanical Analysis of Single Myocyte Contraction in a 3-D Elastic Matrix

BACKGROUND: Cardiac myocytes experience mechanical stress during each heartbeat. Excessive mechanical stresses under pathological conditions cause functional and structural remodeling that lead to heart diseases, yet the precise mechanisms are still incompletely understood. To study the cellular and...
