Abstract
Mechanical force is a critical modulator of smooth muscle (SM) function and gene expression. Very little is known, however, about its contribution to SM myogenesis. This review presents and discusses what has been learned about the role of mechanical force in inducing SM myogenesis and some of the signaling mechanisms involved in this process.Mesh：
