Smooth muscle cells squeeze Ihe blood back to your heart, raise the hackles on your neck and change the F-stop of your eyes. The past year has provided penetrating new insights into their mechanism of contraction.

## Abstract Both rat derived vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and human myofibroblasts contain ฮฑ smooth muscle actin (SMA), but they utilize different mechanisms to contract populated collagen lattices (PCLs). The difference is in how the cells generate the force that contracts the lattices. Huma
Huxley's sliding filament crossbridge muscle model coupled with parallel and series elastic components was simulated to examine the effect of various solution techniques in cardiac contractions. Solutions of both isometric and isotonic contraction cases showed that the force versus time curves were
