Mathematical Modeling of Stress Fiber Reorganization Induced by Cyclic Stretch

Arterial endothelial cells (ECs) are subjected to pulsatile strain due to pressure changes in the cardiac cycle and this may play a significant role in vascular function in health and disease. Further, ECs differentially respond to different patterns of strain. There is much evidence that cyclic uni...
