Influence of Systematically Varied Nano-Scale Topography on Cell Morphology and Adhesion
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The types of cell-matrix adhesions and the signals they transduce strongly affect the cell-phenotype. We hypothesized that cells sense and respond to the three-dimensionality of their environment, which could be modulated by nano-structures on silicon surfaces. Human foreskin fibroblasts were cultured on nano-structures with different patterns (nano-post and nano-grate) and heights for 3 days. The presence of...
