Fig. 4: Stress fiber remodeling in MSCs exposed to simulated microgravity as analyzed by confocal fluorescence microscopy.

From: Gravity sensing in plant and animal cells

Fig. 4

MSCs expressing Lifeact-TagGFP2 contained thick stress fibers under 1 G conditions (a), whereas an exposure to simulated microgravity for 6 h led to the appearance of thinner stress fibers (b). The images in (a) and (b) showing the same field of view, were recorded, processed and presented in an identical condition (Kobayashi, unpublished). Scale bar: 20 μm.
