Figure 1.
A schematic diagram of our approaches. A) The fabrication of ECM protein patterns and their application for NSC differentiation. B) The selective attachment of NSCs on the protein patterns and differentation into two different kinds of neural cells. C) The differentiation of NSCs into either neurons (red) or astrocytes (green) on the protein patterns. D) Increased neuronal differentiation on the grid patterns, as compared to the stripes and squares.
