  • This is no coincidence as it can be shown that (R6) actually restores confluency.

  • MSCs were passaged upon reaching 50% confluency and cells from passage 2-4 were used for this study.

  • Cells were collected at 70% confluency, RNA was isolated using Tri Reagent (Sigma) and cDNA was transcribed using 1 µg RNA using Quantitect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). qRT-PCR reactions were carried out using a 1/20 dilution of template cDNA in SybrGreen Master Mix

  • It was reported that β-catenin in human keratinocytes is diffusely distributed at low cell densities and is predominantly located to plasma membrane after cells have reached confluency

  • Upon growth to confluency, cells were pipet scratched, cultured in serum-free media and maintained in hypoxia for 24 hours

  • H4 cells were plated at 20-30\% confluency in 6 cm dishes, and after 12 hours three siRNA transfections were carried out each separated by an additional 12 hours.

  • MSC that reached 80\% confluency were trypsinized and washed three times with PBS, then 1×10

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles 2009

  • MSC were grown to 40\% confluency in α-MEM supplemented with 20\% FBS and 10\% PSG in T-175 flasks.

  • SPAK siRNA (Ambion, Austin, TX) and con siRNA (same sequence with random order) were plated on transwell filters (Costar, Corning, New York) to grow to just confluency.
