## Abstract The meniscus plays an important role in controlling the biomechanics of the knee. However, the mechanical stress‐related response in meniscus cells remains unclear. We investigated mechanical stretch‐regulated gene expression in human meniscus cells. Human inner and outer meniscus cells
