From: Fabrication of ECM protein coated hollow collagen channels to study peripheral nerve regeneration
Representative images of Schwann cells and axons from explants in (A) control, (B) laminin, and (C) fibronectin coated channels after 5 days of culture. Scale: 500 µm, dotted lines denote explant bodies, hatched lines shows the channels, and arrows denote the longest axon extending from each DRG. Quantification of (D) maximum SC length, (E) maximum axonal length from DRG explants for all coated and non-coated channels, and (F) ratio of maximum axonal vs SC distance from explant bodies. * indicates statistical significance between groups by one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey test (p < 0.05); sample size, N = 9 for each group.
