The Role of Neurotrophic Factors Conjugated to Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: In Vitro Studies
Figure 7
TEM analysis of the localisation of GDNF-conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles: Myelinated organotypic DRG cultures 14 days after seeding in NVR-Gel containing GDNF-conjugated nanoparticles were analysed. (a) and (b): Axon in transverse section. (c) and (d): Axon in longitudinal section. The black arrows point to iron oxide nanoparticles between myelin lamellae and the white arrows point to iron oxide nanoparticles in the axon.
