Alignment of Skeletal Muscle Cells Cultured in Collagen Gel by Mechanical and Electrical Stimulation
Figure 3
Phase-contrast microscopic views ((a), (b), and (c)) and Giemsa staining ((d), (e), and (f)) of C2C12 cells cultured under an electrical field ((b), (e)), with mechanical force ((c), (f)) and without electrical/mechanical load ((a), (d)). The arrows indicate the direction of either electrical current (b) or mechanical force (c). Scale bar = 50 μm.
