Visualizing the effects of cytoskeletal disrupters on chondrocytes.

<p>Confocal fluorescent images of chondrocytes treated with media <b>(A)</b>, 5 mM acrylamide for 16 hours <b>(B)</b> and 5 µM cytochalasin B for 1 hour <b>(C)</b>. Scale bar –5 µm. Analysis of actin aggregates per chondrocyte <b>(D)</b>. More than 20 individual cells per treatment were analyzed using Image J. Asterisks indicates a significant difference (p<0.005).
