Osteoconductive Potential of Barrier NanoSiO₂ PLGA Membranes Functionalized by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition

Figure 6

HOB cells grown on SiO₂ functionalized membranes, immunolabelled with rhodamine-phalloidin for actin cytoskeleton (red) and antivinculin antibody (green) for focal adhesion sites, 48 hours after seeding. Representative images of cytoskeletal features and focal adhesions, showing in detail (a, b) stress fibers development, (c, d) cell clustering, and (e, f) lamellipodial and (g, h) filopodial emissions.
