Development of neuronal morphology on MG and PDL coated-surfaces within the first 24 h after plating. a–f Reconstruction of neuronal morphology on MG and PDL coated-surfaces at 6, 12 and 24 h after plating respectively. g Sholl analysis of typical neuron on MG and PDL coated-surfaces at 6, 12 and 24 h after plating respectively. See Supplementary Fig. 6 for details on the methods. h–j Time-dependent development of neuronal morphology on MG and PDL coated-surfaces in terms of somata area, neurite number and neurite length. In j MGmax and PDLmax designate the longest neurites. Scale barsa 5 µm, b 5 µm, c 50 µm, d 5 µm, e 5 µm, f 10 µm
