CD44 is dispensable for the morphologic response to ECM stiffness. WT and CD44KO cells were incubated on soft and stiff FN-coated hydrogels with 10% FBS for 16 h. (A,B) Cells were fixed and imaged by phase contrast microscopy; cell area was quantified and plotted as mean ± s.e.m. for 4 independent experiments. (C) Zoom of region of interest (ROI) of phalloidin-stained images shown in Supplementary Figure S5B. (D) Average phalloidin intensity was analyzed and plotted as mean ± s.e.m. for 4 independent experiments.
