Mechanical tension triggers a synchronous contraction of the X-MET. (A) X-MET passive force measured while it was stretched at + 66%, starting from the initial delamination length (L0), with a constant velocity of 1 cm/min. (B) X-MET spontaneous contraction force acquired at 15 days after the construct delamination with the corresponding FFT analysis, for the unstretched (0%) and stretched (+ 66%) conditions, displayed at the top and bottom of the panel.
