New Atomic Force Microscopy Based Astrocyte Cell Shape Index
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 March 2013
Abstract
A new three-dimensional cell shape index using the AFM height images of cells cultured on cell substrates was defined. The new cell shape index revealed quantitative cell spreading information of cells that is not included in the conventional cell shape index. The quantitative morphometry of rat cerebral cortical astrocytes cultured on four different kinds of cell substrates were investigated using the conventional and the new cell shape index, and the results were compared. The new cell shape index showed the quantitative astrocyte spreading and stellation behavior that agrees with the AFM height images of astrocytes.
