.... In this study, we test the hypothesis that the application of biomechanical forces to trout cardiac fibroblasts activate the cell signaling pathways associated with cardiac remodeling. This was done by cyclically stretching cardiac fibroblasts to 10% equibiaxial deformation at 0.33 Hz and quantifying...
