Mechanical stress is experienced by cells in various parts of the human body, including the circulatory and digestive systems [1–5]. These stresses play an important role in various stages of organogenesis and homeostasis, from cellular alignments to regulating gene expression profiles [6]. Mechanical stretching experienced by cells is known to cause increased rates of cell division [7], upregulation of cytokine release in lung epithelial cells [8], and varying effects on fibroblasts depending on the alignment of the cells with the direction of uniaxial stress [9].
