Effect of different concentrations of Noc on elongation of cells on different substrates. a Phase contrast images of cells on flat, FN-lines or 1 μm gratings (0.35 or 1 μm deep) with/without Noc treatment (0.04 or 1 μm). Yellow arrow the long axis of FN line pattern or each micrograting. Bar 50 μm. b Average cell aspect ratio (R) of cells on flat, FN-lines, or 1 μm gratings (0.35 or 1 μm deep) with/without Noc treatment. n number of cells. **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and a Bonferroni post hoc test. Error bar denotes the standard deviation of the mean
