Stochastic tug-of-war among sarcomeres mediates cardiomyocyte response to environmental stiffness

Authors Haertter D, Hauke L, Driehorst T, Nishi K, Zimmermann WH, Schmidt CF Journal eLife Citation eLife 13:RP97321. Abstract Cardiac muscle function emerges from the coordinated contraction of sarcomeres in cardiomyocytes. Sarcomere dynamics are usually inferred from whole-cell or myofibril observations, assuming synchronized, uniform behavior. Here, we investigated how different
