Fluorescent images of the organization of F-actin stained with rhodamine-phalloidin (red) and microtubules immunostained with anti-α-tubulin antibody (green) in the static or stretched cells. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (cyan). The cells were pretreated with either 1 µM nocodazole (NDZ; A) or 1 µM paclitaxel (PTX; B). Arrows indicate stretch direction.
