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
Cell clusters adopt a collective amoeboid mode of migration in confined nonadhesive environments.

Cancers in general, and specifically lung cancer, continue to have low patient survival rates when the patient is at an advanced stage when diagnosed. It appears that the local environment, especially fibroblasts and their signaling molecules, tends to induce metastasis

Prolonged obstruction of the ureter, which leads to injury of the kidney collecting ducts, results in permanent structural damage, while early reversal allows for repair. Cell structure is defined by the actin cytoskeleton, which is dynamically organized by small Rho
