Fig. 5

Cell-proliferation assay shows that (a) 293FT and (b) GES1 cells exposed to DMEM extracts of the electrospun TPU fibers, and strain sensor, have significantly increased viability compared with those exposed to GNRs and BNNSs. Data are normalized with day 1 and represented as means ± SD. Error bar: S.D. (n ≥ 3). Experiments were repeated three times. Unpaired t tests were used to compare the difference between the two groups. *Significant relative to the control or the wild-type group, p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. n.s., no statistical significance. c Confocal microscope image of 293FT and GES1 cells after exposure to the original DMEM (control) or DMEM extracts of the electrospun TPU fibers, strain sensor, GNRs, and BNNSs for 24 h. Cells exposed to GNRs and BNNS extracts show injured actin cytoskeleton (red) and DNA (blue).
