Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cell shape is a powerful indicator of cell activity. This study aimed to validate the use of numeric descriptors for the assessment of the effect of substrate mechanical properties on the morphology of 2D cultured fibroblasts. METHODS: Two fibroblast cell types, the 3T3 murine cell line and primary Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF) were cultured on substrates (fibrin, silicone, Tissue Culture PolyStyrene)...
