Morphological adaptation in MSCs on the SLA Ti surface. (a) At 5 min, cells appear round with membranous extensions emanating across the rough topography. At (b) 15 min and (c) 30 min, cells appear constrained. At (d) 1 h, cells displayed a slight shift from their previous circular form. At (e) 3 h, cells had adapted a stretched asymmetric morphology that progressed till (f) 24 h.
