Fig. 4 Qualitative examination of cells on 2D substrates with various peptide treatments. All
cultures were initially incubated 24 h (a) before peptide supplementation (imaged live). After
subsequent 24 h incubation, cultures with RGES (c), DGEA (d), and no peptide added (b) exhibited
similar networking and attachment. Cultures supplemented with RGDT (e) and cRGD (f) exhibited
reduced networking and overall neurite expression. Reproduced with permission from reference
