For cell spreading studies, the following concentrations were used: 50 µM blebbistatin, 30 µM Y-27632, 1 µM Cytochalasin D (all from Wako, Japan) and 2 mM GRGDS (Peptide institute, Japan). Each of these reagents was added 2 h prior to analysis. For lipid raft and pFAK studies, 25 µM methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was added when seeding the cells. MβCD was incubated for 2 days prior to analysis. For differentiation studies, 25 µM MβCD and 4 µM FAK inhibitor 14 (Sigma-Aldrich) were used. MβCD was incubated until day 14 and was exchanged every 3 d. FAK inhibitor 14 was incubated until day 2 and then was exchanged for fresh growth medium.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
