Human Schwann Cells Seeded on a Novel Collagen-Based Microstructured Nerve Guide Survive, Proliferate, and Modify Neurite Outgrowth

SEM images of hSCs seeded onto the different Perimaix prototypes for 14 days ((a), (c), (e), and (g) are S1–4, respectively, images (b), (d), (f) and (g) are magnifications of the rectangles in (a), (c), (e) and (g). Scale bars in (a), (c), (e) and (g): 50 μm). Morphology and Schwann cell behaviour was qualitatively analysed in the inner structures (center) of the different scaffold prototypes 14 days after seeding, revealing spindle shaped cells that extended bipolar processes along the microchannels.
