Systems biology approach to exploring the effect of cyclic stretching on cardiac cell physiology

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 5. Differential expression profile of 29 genes after 1, 4, 12, 24, and 48 hours of cyclical stretching in human cardiomyocytes. The heat map diagram shows expression changes for 29 genes that were altered in cardiac myocytes in response to at least three time points of mechanical stretching.
