Endothelium stained for VE-cadherin, phalloidin and vinculin for two collagen concentrations (i): 2 mg ml −1 (top) and 6 mg ml −1 (bottom). Fluorescence intensity of the actin stress fibres (normalized by the mean cell intensity) as a function of collagen concentration ( n = 5 (2 mg ml –1 ) and n = 6 (6 mg ml –1 )) (ii).
