Abstract:Although actin stress fibers are abundant in cultured cells, little is known about these structures in vivo. In podocytes of the kidney glomerulus, much evidence suggests that mechanobiological mechanisms underlie injury, with changes to actin stress fiber structures potentially responsible for pathological changes to cell morphology. However, this hypothesis is difficult to rigorously test in vivo due to challenges with visualization. We therefore developed the first visualization technique capable of resolvi… Show more
