  1. Response of an actin filament network model under cyclic stretching through a coarse grained Monte Carlo approach. Kang J, Steward RL, Kim Y, Schwartz RS, LeDuc PR, Puskar KM. J Theor Biol. 2011 Apr 7;274(1):109-19. doi: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2011.01.011. Epub 2011 Jan 15. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21241710 This paper describes Monte Carlo simulations of actin filaments under cyclic stretch conditions)

  2. Structurally Governed Cell Mechanotransduction through Multiscale Modeling John Kang, Kathleen M. Puskar, Allen J. Ehrlicher, Philip R. LeDuc & Russell S. Schwartz Scientific Reports volume 5, Article number: 8622 (2015) https://www.nature.com/articles/srep08622 This paper describes Monte Carlo simulations of actin filaments under both cyclic stretch and shear conditions to simulate mechanotransduction signaling

It's been a while since I wrote this code and the annotation/comments may be confusing, so please feel free to contact me regarding questions

The main function is "cellstretch_john_main.m" for input parameters This main file calls "cellstretch_john_execute.m" which calls further helper functions
