Figure 1. Diagram of electrical stimulation. (A) An electrical cable was connected to both electrodes to remove electric charge. (B) Cover glasses with 60 µm-wide grooves were used, and a cell suspension was seeded on each cover glass. (C) The covering film was removed 24 hours after cell seeding, and the dish was filled with culture medium. Electrodes were set at both sides of the dish.
