CFs were attached either to both cell ends (to maximize the stretched region), or to the center and one end of the cell (to compare responses in stretched and nonstretched half-cells). Sarcomere length was increased by 8.01\u00b10.94% in the stretched cell fraction, and time series of XY confocal images were recorded to monitor diastolic Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    spark frequency and dynamics.

Conversely, interference with cytoskeletal integrity (2 hours of 10 \u03bcmol\/L colchicine) abolished the response.
