Surface nanotopography-cell interactions

Nanotopography may provide superior biomimetic cell-modulating cues, as it may further resemble the natural ECM environment in which cells reside and interact. It has been shovra that nanopattemed surfaces can improve protein adsorption and cellular response, since as on rougher surfaces, the focal adhesion points are located at cell edges, where the contact with the materials surface takes place [61,71-77].
