Characterization of cross-bridge elasticity and kinetics of cross-bridge cycling during force development in single smooth muscle cells

Force development in smooth muscle, as in skeletal muscle, is believed to reflect recruitment of force-generating myosin cross-bridges. However, little is known about the events underlying cross-bridge recruitment as the muscle cell approaches peak isometric force and then enters a period of tension...
