Galectins promote focal adhesion formation. Equine passage 4 BMSCs plated on fibronectin-coated glass substrates following nucleofection with the focal adhesion marker paxillin mEmerald and staining for actin (phalloidin Alexa647) and nuclei (DAPI). Distinct focal adhesion structures are present within BMSCs plated in control media but not in media with 100 mM β-lactose
