Quantitatively Controlled Fabrication of Uniaxially Aligned Nanofibrous Scaffold for Cell Adhesion
Figure 6
Immunofluorescent staining images of cell morphologies and quantitative assessments of cell alignments on (a) smooth PDMS substrate without fiber (control), (b) fiber mesh deposited randomly (random), (c) singly transferred substrate with aligned nanofibers (1 tr), and multiply transferred substrate with (d) 5 (5 trs) and (e) 20 transfers (20 trs). Red and blue correspond to actin and nucleus, respectively. The scale bar on (a) is 50 μm; the other images are at the same magnification. (f) Elongation factor (Ef) of the each scaffold. Data shown as mean ± standard error (n = 30 in each scaffold, ***P <.001).
