Figure 12

Lamellipodia activity and actin polymerization induced by applied tensile strain (10% horizontal direction) was observed throughout the cell. The left column shows images of the entire fibroblast. The region within the red box is magnified and shown in the right column. The red triangle indicates an example of lamellipodia activity and actin polymerization. Lamellipodia activity begins after 8 minutes and results in new actin fiber formation by 45 minutes. (left scale bar = 30 µm)(right scale bar = 10 µm)
