General description
The active enantiomer of (±)-Blebbistatin (Cat. No. 203390) that accounts for the inhibitory activity towards ATPase (IC50 = ~2 µM) and myosin II-dependent cellular processes. Also reported to potently inhibit the actomyosin ATPase activities of expressed smooth muscle myosin IIA (SMA) and smooth muscle myosin IIB (SMB) smooth muscle myosin II heavy-chain isoforms (IC50 ~3 µM).

We describe a cellular contractile mechanism employed by fibroblasts and mesenchymal cancer cells to migrate in 3D collagen gels. During 3D spreading, fibroblasts strongly deform the matrix. They protrude, polarize, and initiate migration in the direction of highest extracellular matrix

T cell activation is sensitive to the mechanical properties of an activating substrate. However, there are also contrasting results on how substrate stiffness affects T cell activation, including differences between T cells of mouse and human origin. Towards reconciling these

Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are myelinating cells of the central nervous system. Recent studies have shown that mechanical factors influence various cell properties. Mechanical stimulation can be transduced into intracellular biochemical signals through mechanosensors, such as integrin, p130Cas, talin and vinculin. However

While the immediate and transitory response of breast cancer cells to pathological stiffness in their native microenvironment has been well explored, it remains unclear how stiffness-induced phenotypes are maintained over time after cancer cell dissemination in vivo. Here, we show that
