Objective To assess the effects of cyclic stretch on fibroblast orientation in order to find the appropriate cyclic stretch to cause maximum fibroblast orientation and to explore the mechanism of cell signalling since cells are known to orient in response to the application of mechanical forces. Methods Human forehead dermal fibroblasts were seeded onto collagen coated flexible membranes. Membranes were then deformed at 10 cycles per minute by the application of 135 mmHg subatmospheric pressure. This corresponded to strain levels of 0% to 24% from the center to extremity of the flexible membrane. Cells orientation angles w
