The projected area of hNSCs grown on each substrate. (a) Fluorescence images of actin filaments were stained with rhodamine-labeled phalloidin after 48 hours of culture. The nuclei of hNSCs were stained with DAPI. The scale bar indicates 10 μm. (b) The total projected areas of the cells were attached to each substrate. Five random images showing actin filaments were acquired, and the total projected areas were quantified using Image J software. The total projected areas were subsequently normalized to the number of cells observed in each image. The symbol indicates a significant difference compared to the unmodified substrates ( ).
