Results showing the effects of turning off the induced electric field on SCP2 cells on the “North” side of the coil after cells have been exposed to it for 8 hours. 8 hrs control (1):
Control experiments used for normalization, showing cells migrated in 0.1% serum media after 8 hours with no induced E field, as 100%. 8 hrs +E (2): Hindered migration (consistent with Fig. 2f) of SCP2 cells in the presence of an induced E field (8 hrs control (1) and 8 hrs +E (2): p < 0.001). 8 hrs +E 8 hrs −E (3): Migration of cells after 16 hours, with the induced E field for the first eight hours and the field shut off for the next 8 hours (8 hrs control (1) and 8 hrs +E 8 hrs −E (3): p < 0.001). 16 hrs control (4): Control experiments showing cell migration after 16 hours with no induced E field. Note that cell migration appears to be restored to normal levels despite hindered migration of SCP2 cells due to the induced E field for the first 8 hours (8 hrs +E 8 hrs −E (3) and 16 hrs control (4): p =0.342). 16 hrs +E (5): Migration of cells after 16 hours in the presence of an induced E field (16 hrs control (4) and 16 hrs +E (5): p < 0.001)
