Figure 4

(a) Representative inverted phase contrast microscope images of LECs attached to the surface of IOL, IOL-Plasma , and IOL-P ( MPC-MAA), respectively. Scale bar = 100 μm. (b) Quantification of the number of cells attached to the surfaces of IOLs in (a). In each group, 5 IOLs were chosen, and in each IOL, five fields were selected with one in the central and four in peripheral quadrants at random. (c) Cell viability assay shows the proliferation of LECs on the surfaces of IOLs after incubation for 24 and 48 hours, respectively. n = 3. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
