Motor-driven marginal band coiling promotes cell shape change during platelet activation

Video 6.
MB coiling after platelet activation with ADP. Related to Fig. 2 E. Time-lapse video of 3D reconstructions of confocal stacks of microtubule tracker-stained platelets activated with ADP (270-nM final). 3D reconstitutions are depth color coded as indicated. Shown are two different view angles (0 and 160° rotation) to observe microtubules short cutting the coiled bundle. Stacks were acquired every 6.91 s for 57 min and 33 s using a laser-scanning confocal microscope (LSM 710 ConfoCor 3).
