Retinal Progenitor Cells Exhibit Cadherin-Dependent Chemotaxis across Transplantable Extracellular Matrix of In Vitro Developmental and Adult Models

Figure 3

N-cadherin expression in cultured Mus retinal progenitors seeded on (a) laminin (LM), (b) poly-L-lysine (PLL), (c) matrigel (MG), and (d) control (no ECM coating). Red indicates N-cadherin and blue indicates DAPI nuclear stain. (e) N-cadherin expression levels for each group normalized to control show significant changes in N-cadherin expression for LM () but not on MG or PLL. A sample of n = 5 wells was used per condition.
