Fluid shear stress induced MuSC deformation in a parallel-plate flow chamber. Confocal top view (XY) and cross-sectional (XZ) live-cell images are given of a MuSC stained for F-actin (green) and nucleus (red), before (static) and during (1, 5 s) fluid shear stress treatment, illustrating the fluid shear stress-induced MuSC deformation. The change in cell morphology is illustrated by solid and dotted lines in XZ images. Arrows indicate the direction of fluid flow. Scale bars, 20 μm. To see this figure in color, go online.
