Abstract
The minireview considers some aspects of the lateral mechanics of muscle fibers, such as the available data on transverse stiffness of intact muscle cells, skinned fibers, and isolated myofibrils under various conditions and at different differentiation stages; the mechanisms whereby extrasarcomeric cytoskeletal proteins are involved in forming the structural basis of transverse stiffness; and their possible signaling role.
