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
-
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.
