F-actin was visualized using Rhodamine phalloidin (Thermo-Fisher, Carlsbad, CA, USA) or Actistain 670 (Cytoskeleton, Denver, CO, USA). Fluorescently conjugated secondary antibodies used were: Dylight 488, 550 and 633 conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit were purchased from Thermo-Fisher. FITC anti-rat, Alexa-fluor 488 anti-mouse, HRP-conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch. The polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates were prepared as previously described(52 (link)).

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.
