NSC morphology, focal adhesion and proliferation on each substrate. NSCs (P5) seeding on three different substrates (TCP, S-CHDM, N-CHDM) and observation of (a) cell morphology, b focal adhesion (F-actin: red, DAPI: blue, vinculin: green) and c Live&Dead staining (live: green, dead: red) for cell viability on each substrate on day 1. d NSC growth as monitored at 2 (inset) and 4 days. e Cell proliferation of NSCs at 0, 2, and 4 days as evaluated via CCK-8 assay (n = 3, each group). Quantitative analysis of (f) cell area and (g) cell circularity. Statistically significant difference as marked *p < 0.05 or ***p < 0.001
