Figure 6. HNPC adhesion to VDP is mediated through integrin- and proteoglycan-dependent interactions.

(A) Phase contrast images of RiPSC-hNPCs treated with EDTA, integrin α_v blocking antibody, heparin, and chondroitinase ABC prior to culture on LN- and VDP surfaces. (B) Cell counts were performed after 48 hours of culture. Data is presented as the mean ± S.E.M relative to untreated samples. All comparisons were made to untreated samples using Student’s t-test (*p< 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p<0.001).
