Time-lapse images of tension sensor in VSMCs isolated from the aorta before and after stimulation with Y27632
Description
Time-lapse images of actinin tension sensor in VSMCs (Vascular smooth muscle cells) isolated from the aorta before and after stimulation with Y27632. About ten minutes later, a gradual increase in energy transfer from EGFP to mCherry reflects the decrease in cell tension. Y27632 was added between 24-25 min
