Fig. 4 — Mechanical anisotropy in biaxially stretched micropatterned VSMCs. (a), (c), and (e) Representative cell-induced displacement fields for unstretched and 16% strain AR4 VSMCs undergoing (a) uniaxial-A (n = 10), (c) uniaxial-T (n = 13), and (e) equibiaxial stretch (n = 9). (b), (d), and (f) First Piola–Kirchhoff stresses in AR4 cells during (b) uniaxial-A (*, * = significant from 0%, p < 0.05), (d) uniaxial-T (* = significant from 0%, 4%, 8%, p < 0.05), and (f) equibiaxial stretching (* = significant from 0%, p < 0.05). All error bars: standard deviation.
