From: Polyaniline cryogels: Biocompatibility of novel conducting macroporous material
Neural progenitors differentiating on TC plastics (A,B) and on polyaniline cryogel (C,D). Cells were visualized by F-actin detection using DAPI (A,C). Cell nuclei were counterstained by phalloidin FITC (B,D). Starting point is defined as number of adherent cells 12 h hours after seeding. The number of adhered neural progenitors on the cryogel was significantly lower than on TC plastic, thus also the proliferation of neural progenitors on the polyaniline cryogel is low. The micrographs were taken on day 4 of differentiation overall.
