Cellular behavior can be influenced by the chemical and physical surface characteristics of
biomedical substrates. To understand the relationships between various topographical …

The endeavor of exploiting arrays of vertical one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures (NSs) for
cellular applications has recently been experiencing a pronounced surge of activity. The …

It is emerging that nanotopographical information can be used to induce osteogenesis from
mesenchymal stromal cells from the bone marrow, and it is hoped that this nanoscale …

We investigate the effects of surface nanotopography on the migration and cell shape
dynamics of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. Multiple prior studies have implicated …

This study presents the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of cellulose nanocrystals (CNs)
and CNs-based alginate composite coatings for biomedical applications. The mechanism of …

The ability to control the behavior of stem cells provides crucial benefits, for example, in
tissue engineering and toxicity/drug screening, which utilize the stem cell's capacity to …

Cell‐microstructure surface interactions play a significant role in tissue engineering to guide
cell spreading and migration. However, the mechanisms underlying cell–topography …

Our expanding ability to handle the “literally invisible” building blocks of our world has
started to provoke a seismic shift on the technology, environment and health sectorsin our …

Azo-polymers have been investigated for the large structural modifications occurring under
light excitation. Photo induced isomerizations of the azobenzene molecular units can …

Silk fibroin is an ideal blood vessel substitute due to its advantageous qualities including
variable size, good suture retention, low thrombogenicity, non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity …
