Platelet adhesion profile using fluorescence microscopy analysis on glass, Ti alloy, and TNA nanosurfaces. A The green signals represent the presence of adhered live cells (platelets and leukocytes) stained with calcein-AM staining. The image of (a–c) displayed observation on glass surface, (d–f) on the Ti surface, and (g–i) is on the TNA surface. Experiment were done in triplicate. B Quantitative data on the number of cells covered by the adhered cells on the surface using ImageJ software. The result shows significantly lower cell adhesion on TNA nanosurface when compared to glass (p = 0.0047) and Ti alloy (p = 0.0218). The error bar represents the standard deviation
