Abstract excerpt

A population of freshly isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes is spatially oriented using a computerized mechanical cell stimulator device for tissue cultured cells. A continuous unidirectional stretch of the substratum at 60 to 400 micron/min for 120 to 30 min, respectively, during the cell attach...
