Immunofluorescence data.
(A) Actin cytoskeleton, nuclei and CX43 expression in control and electromechanically stimulated devices at 3% strain and 5 V/cm electrical stimulation. Scale bar is 100 μm. (B) Quantification and statistical analysis of the CX43 fluorescence intensity under three different conditions: control, 3% strain with 5 V/cm electrical stimulation and 7% strain with 5 V/cm electrical stimulation. Data are expressed as means ± SD. Two-tailed t-test, *p < 0.05. (C) Cell density after 14 days of culture in control and stimulated devices (3% strain and 5 V/cm). Data are expressed as means ± SD.
