Figure Lengend Snippet: GMs promote maturation and biocompatibility in SN4741 cell cultures (7 days in culture). Nuclear staining with Hoechst 3258 (in vivo) shows no apoptotic bodies in adherent cells cultured on GM substrates. ( a1 ) GO film; ( b1 ) PRGO film; ( c1 ) FRGO film; ( d1 ) control. Merged images display neurofilament-M (NEFM) (green)/DAPI (blue) in ( a2 – d2 ) and neurofilament-H (NEFH) (red)/DAPI (blue) in ( a3 – d3 ) Immature cell marker DCX (red)/DAPI (blue) is shown in ( a4 – d4 ). Scale bars: 25 µm ( a1 , d1 , a2 – c2 , a3 , d3 , a4 , d4 ); 50 µm ( b1 , d2 , b4 , c4 ); 120 µm ( c1 ).
