Serial sarcomere number vs. time. The serial sarcomere number increases exponentially and converges toward a homeostatic equilibrium, which depends on the applied overstretch. Increasing or decreasing the overstretch, shown in blue and green, increases or decreases the serial sarcomere number. Modeled sarcomere numbers, shown as black dashed line, show the same trend as experimentally measured sarcomere numbers, shown as red circles [198].
