Figure 4

Establishment of cultures: neuronal networks composed of long, thick, and ramified neurites which are originating from DRG explants cultures, 10 days after set-up in NVR-Gel enriched with neurotrophic factors conjugated to iron oxide nanoparticles as follows: (a) Conjugated-βNGF, (b) Conjugated-GDNF, (c) Conjugated-FGF-2 (phase-contrast microscopy).
