Controlled self-assembly of diblock copolymers offers the possibility of fabricating
multilength scale, three-dimensional (3D) porous/fibrous structures (or scaffolds) with …

Cellular microenvironments are generally sophisticated, but crucial for regulating the
functions of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Despite tremendous effort in this field, the …

Nanoscale topography on various titanium surfaces has already been shown to improve
vascular response in vitro. To propose a novel strategy for translation into clinically used …

Mechanics of the bilayer membrane play an important role in many biological and
bioengineering problems such as cell–substrate and cell–nanomaterial interactions. In this …

Microfluidic technology is an important research tool for investigating angiogenesis in vitro.
Here, we fabricated a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic device with five cross …

Unlike the fibroblast-like cells formed upon monolayer culture of human mesenchymal stem
cells, the natural stem cell niche of the bone marrow and other types of tissues favours the …

Nanotubes with their unique properties have diversified mechanical and biological
applications. Due to similarity of dimensions with extracellular matrix (ECM) elements, these …

As discussed in the introductory chapter of this book, significant research on orthopedic
implants focuses on the development of a new generation of biomaterials as hard tissue …

Mineralization plays a crucial role in the formation and remodeling of bone and charge has a
positive influence on the mineralization by manipulating apatite deposition. In this paper …

In this study we investigated the contact characteristics of human prostate cancer cells (PC3)
on silicon micropillar arrays with complex shapes by using high-resolution confocal …
