Phalloidin F-actin cytoskeleton staining
Phalloidin F-actin staining detects polymerized filamentous actin in fixed and permeabilized specimens by using fluorescent phalloidin or phalloidin-derived phallotoxins that bind actin filaments and generate a fluorescence microscopy readout corresponding to F-actin organization, including stress fibers, cortical actin, filament bundles, and tissue-specific actin networks. Phalloidin stabilizes F-actin by reducing actin subunit dissociation from filament ends, and fluorescent phallotoxins were established as tools for visualizing actin-containing structures in eukaryotic cells.

Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
