Figure 1. Microstructures affect hMSC morphology.

Figure 1

A. At day 10, hMSCs in 3D Matrigel have a stellate appearance and are most often dispersed as single cells (C). B. When cultured with stiff microstructures hMSC are more polarized and tend to cluster around microstructures (D). (A,B) Green - Calcein AM staining hMSC cytoplasm. (C,D) Blue - Hoechst stains nuclei and also SU-8 microstructures. Images representative of n=3 human donors. Scale bars = 50 µm.
