Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an easy-to-use, powerful, high-resolution microscope that
allows the user to image any surface and under any aqueous condition. AFM has been used …

The basement membrane (BM) is a thin specialized extracellular matrix that functions as a
cellular anchorage site, a physical barrier and a signaling hub. While the literature on the …

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) serve as essential components of regenerative
medicine. Their destiny is influenced by the interaction of the cells with the external …

We have modified the surface topography of poly ɛ-caprolactone (PCL) and polylactic acid
(PLA) blended films to improve cell proliferation and to guide the regeneration of peripheral …

Microphysiological systems are now widely used to recapitulate physiological and
pathological microenvironments in order to study and understand a variety of cellular …

Poly (l‐lactide) electrospun mats with random and aligned fiber orientation and films have
been produced with degrees of crystallinity ranging from 0 up to nearly 50%. The overall …

Surface topography is increasingly being recognized as an important factor to control the
response of cells and tissues to biomaterials. In the current study, the aim was to obtain …

This paper presents cell culture substrates in the form of microcontainer arrays with overlaid
surface topographies, and a technology for their fabrication. The new fabrication technology …

Patterned surfaces direct cell spatial dynamics, yielding cells oriented along the surface
geometry, in a process known as contact guidance. The Rho family of GTPases controls the …

Dental ceramic implants have shown superior esthetic behavior and the absence of induced
allergic disorders when compared to titanium implants. Zirconia may become a potential …
