FIG. 2

(a) Schematic illustration of a PZT nanofiber-based flexible NG. (b) Fluorescent image of a live/dead assay of rat smooth muscle cells on NG surface. Green, blue, and red colors represent live cells, intact nucleus, and dead cells, respectively. Inset shows dead cells pointed by the arrow. (c) Comparison between cells grown on device and cells grown on culture plates. ((d) and (e)) PZT NG attached to the heart of bovine (d) and corresponding output voltage (e).
