(a) Cell spread area versus dot diameter for cells cultured on the nanodot arrays.
Figure3a shows the correlation between cell spread area and dot size for macrophages and foam cells.
The water spread area was extracted from a Landsat satellite image of 2015 (NASA Landsat Program 2015).
Cell spread area as a function of time is well described by a sigmoid curve [17], and the spread area is a widely used statistic for establishing the role a particular molecule or disease state plays in cytoskeletal regulation [18] [22].
Cell density and average cell spread area were measured daily using phase contrast light microscopy.
Furthermore, spread area remained inversely correlated with initial seeding density up to day 3.
In all cases, the cell spread area was increased and 3D migration potential was decreased.
S6: Cell spread area and cell number compared to transfection efficacy.
The area, diameter, perimeter of blood vessels, the fibrin spread area and pericyte covered length were measured with Image J software.
Definitions of cell shape: larger, spread area increased compared to control cells; elongated, cell body length ≥ 2 × width; very elongated, cell body length ≥ 3 × width; rounded, length ~ = width.
Osteoblast (bone cell) differentiation increased, and adipocyte (fat cell) differentiation decreased as island size, therefore also cell spread area, increased [ 21].
