Figure Lengend Snippet: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of Myr-B peptide-induced effects on human cervical cancer HeLa cells. SEM micrographs (acquired and processed using JEOL inTouchScope Interface software, https://www.jeol.com/products/scientific/sem/JSM-IT510.php , access date: 23 April 2026) of untreated HeLa cells (negative control) ( a , b ), HeLa cells after 3 h exposure to 38 μM Myr-B ( c , d ) and 38 μM Pep-B ( e , f ) and HeLa cells treated with 2% NaN 3 (positive control) ( g , h ). Magnification and scale bars = ( a – d ) 1500× and 10 μm, respectively; ( e – h ) 10,000× and 1 μm, respectively.
Article Snippet: The human cervical cancer HeLa cell line (ATCC CCL-2) was cultured under the same conditions (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ), but in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium supplemented with 10% ( v / v ) FBS, 1% ( w / v ) glutamine, 1% ( w / v ) penicillin–streptomycin, and 0.2% ( w / v ) NaHCO 3 [ ].
