Figure Lengend Snippet: DOG screening overview. a , Screening overview showing the heatmaps (average of n = 3) of the cell proliferation at 24 h and 72 h for both the MCF10a and MCF7 cells quantified as Ki-67 positive nuclei. The heatmaps corresponding to the cell density and cell area can be found in the supplementary figures. b , Scatter plots showing all data points from one screening (4 DOGs) ranked from low to high. Tissue culture polystyrene (TCP) was used as a control. The 10 % lowest and 10 % highest scoring datapoints are shown on the side and are shown to be significantly different (p < 0.0001). Annotation of black dot with “T” or “L” corresponds to the representative fluorescence images of “Top” and “Low” hits as shown in .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Top- and low-hit Ki-67-expressing proliferative cells after 72 h of cell culture . Cells were stained for Ki-67 (red), phalloidin (green), and nuclei (blue). Scale bar is 100 μm. White arrows show examples of Ki-67 positive nuclei. The underlying material properties of each image are: MCF10a top hit: S-W 51° 251 MPa, MCF10a low hit: T-S|W 3.8 μm 82° 47 MPa, MCF7 top hit: S-W 63° 42 MPa, MCF7 low hit: T-SW 6 μm 68° 63 MPa.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Scatter plots comparing the effect of each individual physicochemical parameter of the DOG between MCF10a and MCF7 cells. The material parameters (topography, wettability, and stiffness on the same data points, shown with the corresponding color scale) were shown on the biological output (cell proliferation, % Ki-67 positive cells) for the MCF10a vs. the MCF7 cells. Similar plots showing the scatter plots for cell density and cell area can be found in .

Figure Lengend Snippet: ROIs were chosen that lead to a higher proliferation after 72 h for MCF10a than MCF7 cells. a , Regions of interest (ROIs) are chosen as points furthest away from the dashed line. In orange and blue, points are indicated that show an individual statistical difference (P < 0.05) when comparing the proliferation percentage of MCF7 vs. MCF10a. Orange or blue dots indicate an increase for either MCF7 or MCF10a proliferation, respectively. b , Points from a were grouped and show a significant different in both MCF10a and MCF7 Ki-67 positive cells percentage (p < 0.0001). c , Individual DOG values for each ROI chosen in a are shown. Corresponding fluorescence images for each ROI can be found in .

Figure Lengend Snippet: ROIs were chosen from the screening as “positive” when MCF10a Ki-67 % > MCF7 Ki-67 % (labelled as Pos1, Pos2, Pos3, shown in blue) and “negative” when MCF7 Ki-67 % > MCF10a Ki-67 % (labelled as Neg1, Neg2, Neg3, shown in orange). a , Cell experiments were repeated on translational (labelled as Trans) substrates with those specific material properties and compared to the proliferation (% Ki-67 positive cells after 72 h of cell culture) rates from the screening (Screen). b , Cell density after 72 h was compared between the screening and translation findings. c , Fluorescence images of two example ROIs, Pos1 and Neg1. Cells were stained for Ki-67 (red), phalloidin (green), and DAPI (blue). Corresponding fluorescence images for the other ROIs can be found in . The scale bar is 100 μm.
