Figure 4. Cell growth behavior measurements for human primary astrocytes over 10 hours of culture: Growth-resistance (Ω) kinetics of astrocytes with all kinds of treatments showed a steady upward slope.

The end point blank-normalized resistance (∆Ω) values were 1.63, 1.49, 1.26, and 1.50 for NIR-alone treatment, MNPs-alone treatment, MNPs-NIR, and untreated control exposure, respectively. Thus, the cell growth-resistances patterns were in the same range which suggests a similar growth behavior of attached cells across all groups.
