Fig.4: "
- "We applied the RGD peptide for one hour in Purkinje cell culture and measured the length of dendritic spines and pFAK on both proximal and distal dendrites. Both the intensity of pFAK staining and the number of pFAK+ spines were decreased after RGD treatment (p = 0.02, n = 12 and p = 0.04, n = 12 cells) confirming the ability of this peptide to decrease integrin signalling (Fig 3A, 3E and 3F), "
