(A – D) Morphology of hMSC cells grown for 24 h on the (A) uncoated and (B) Ag:PBG-PVD and (C) Ga-PBG-PVD≈1400 nm coated cp-Ti. Actin microfilaments of the cell cytoskeleton were stained with phalloidin-AlexaFluor596 (red), whilst the cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). (D) hMSC proliferation at 24 h, as assessed by a MTS test. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
