Figure 5.

Representative SEM images of SH-SY5Y cultures on porous membranes. (A) Low seeding density cultures (1 × 10⁴ cells/cm²) show neurite interaction with 0.8 µm, 1.2 µm, 3 µm and 5 µm diameters pores. (B) Image analysis was used to quantify the number of neurites entering each pore, counted for one or more neurites. Plot shows means ± SD with dots representing fields of view (n = 5). “not significant” (ns). Scale bars (5 µm).
