Adhesion and proliferation of C2C12 myoblasts.
Confocal images of focal adhesions of C2C12 myoblasts cultured on (a) the glass substrate and on (b) the PECA textured coating at 24 h from seeding. F-actin, vinculin and nuclei were stained in red, green and blue, respectively. Scale bar = 20 μm. Live/Dead® (green/red) staining of myoblasts shows comparable cell viability on (c) glass and on (d) the cyanoacrylate sample at 24 h from seeding. Scale bar = 50 μm. (e) WST-1 assay of the metabolic activity of myoblasts within 48 h from seeding on glass (gray) and on the PECA textured coating (green). *p < 0.05.
