F-actin cytoskeletal changes of rBMSCs exposed to mechanical strain. (a) Control; (b) strain; (c) HA/Col; (d) strain + HA/Col. rBMSCs were incubated in Texas red isothiocyanate-conjugated phalloidin to stain all F-actin filaments (red) and with DAPI to label the nuclei (blue). Mechanical strain was in left→right direction. Scale bar, 50 mm.
