The Role of Neurotrophic Factors Conjugated to Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: In Vitro Studies

Figure 5

Effect of neurotrophic factors conjugated to iron oxide nanoparticles versus free factors on the onset of myelin in DRG organotypic cultures. The graph shows time elapsed (days) until the appearance of the first segments of myelinated axons. Control cultures have not been exposed to neurotrophic factors. The data represented shows mean ± SD from 15 repeated experiments. In each experiment cultures were performed in triplicate for each type of neurotrophic factor ( , , ).
