Sarcomeres are stereotyped force-producing mini-machines of striated muscles.Each sarcomere contains a pseudocrystalline order of bipolar actin and myosin filaments, which are linked by titin filaments.During muscle development, these three filament types need to assemble into long periodic chains Butter Dishes of sarcomeres called myofibrils.Initi
