Molecular and Biomechanical Adaptations to Mechanical Stretch in Cultured Myotubes

Myotubes are mature muscle cells that form the basic structural element of skeletal muscle. When stretching skeletal muscles, myotubes are subjected to passive tension as well. This lead to alterations in myotube cytophysiology, which could be related with muscular biomechanics. During the past deca...
