Fig. 9. Image quantification of hMSCs following 24 h co-culture on 2D cpTi surfaces.
hMSCs were incubated for 24 h on flat control, NS or NN 2D cpTi surfaces, followed by incubation for a further 24 h with S. aureus (A-C) or P. aeruginosa (D–F). hMSCs were stained with LIVE/DEAD and imaged using a fluorescence microscope. Cell number (A,D), area (B,E), and perimeter (C,F) were quantified using Image J software. A threshold was applied, and then particle analysis was performed on the images. * P < 0.05, **** P < 0.001.
