Directional Topography Influences Adipose Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Plasticity: Prospects for Tissue Engineering and Fibrosis

<div>Heat map interpolating focal adhesion area per cell, cell alignment, and expression of SM22<i>α</i> data. Data for focal adhesions and cell alignment were from the experiment using all 11 topographical ranges in which cells were cultured for 24 hours without TGF-<i>β</i>1. Data for differentiation were from the experiment in which cells were cultured for 7 days under stimulation with TGF-<i>β</i>1, also with all 11 topographical ranges.</div>
