Biomimetic scaffolds mimic important features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture
and can be finely controlled at the nano‐or microscale for tissue engineering. Rational …

Nanobiomaterials are introducing new capabilities to coordinate cell selection, growth,
morphology, and differentiation. Herein, we report that tuning the geometry of ordered arrays …

Control over biointerfacial interactions in vitro and in vivo is the key to many biomedical
applications: from cell culture and diagnostic tools to drug delivery, biomaterials and …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) kills millions of people every year. It results from a narrowing
of the arteries (stenosis) supplying blood to the heart. This review discusses the merits and …

Porous silicon (PSi) is a promising material in several biomedical applications because of its
