Nanopatterning influences uptake of microspheres. M0, M1 and M2 cells were exposed to Fluoresbrite® microspheres for 24hrs. Representative fluorescent images of uptake of microspheres (yellow) by cells stained with rhodamine Phalloidin (red) on Flat BMG (A: a, c, e) and BMG-55 (A: b, d, f). Scale bars = 20μm. Original magnification, 200×. Quantification of microsphere uptake measured as percentage of cells with spheres (B: a) and average number of spheres per cell (B: b). Data represent mean + SD (*p ≤ 0.05), (n=5).
