Figure 7. Soft, deformable DexVS matrices promote increased cell spreading and focal adhesion formation.

Figure 7.

(a) Cell outlines of nine representative cells. Scale bar: 200 μm. (b) Confocal fluorescent image of rhodamine-labeled DexVS fibers with cell outline shown in red. Scale bar: 100 μm. (c) Confocal fluorescent image of phalloidin-stained NHLFs (cyan) and vinculin (magenta, top left inset). Scale bar: 100 μm. (d) Quantification of cell spread area (n ≥ 171) and focal adhesion area per cell (n ≥ 29). All data presented as mean ± std; * p < 0.05.
