From: Schwann cell durotaxis can be guided by physiologically relevant stiffness gradients
Schwann cell migration was similar across all mechanically uniform substrates evaluated. Data is graphed as box and whisker plots. No significant differences were found in Schwann cell a velocity or c tactic index, a metric of directedness calculated as the total cell path divided by the shortest distance between beginning and end position. Schwann cell migration on both gradient substrates was significantly b faster and d more directed than in cells adherent to uniform substrates. Statistical significance indicated by *** for p <0.0001, assessed by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA with Dunn’s post-test
