An integrated enhancement and reconstruction strategy for the quantitative extraction of actin stress fibers from fluorescence micrographs

Abstract Background The stress fibers are prominent organization of actin filaments that perform important functions in cellular processes such as migration, polarization, and traction force generation, and whose collective organization reflects the physiological and mechanical activities of the cel...
