Abstract

Appropriate control of cellular growth is critical for tissue engineering applications and for the design of effective bioelectronic interfaces for bionic applications. Recent studies have shown that platforms with micro and nanostructured surfaces provide topographical cues that can positively influence cellular response in vitro.
