In this study rat dermal fibroblasts (RDFs) were cultured on smooth or microgrooved (1-20 m wide, 0.5-5.4 m deep) substrates. Polystyrene microgrooved substrates were produced by solvent casting on molds that had been produced by photolithographic techniques. We investigated the attachment of RDFs w

## Abstract Improving the biological performance of engineered implants apposing interfacing tissues is a critical issue in Biomaterials Science and Engineering. Micromotion at the soft tissueβimplant interface has been shown to sustain an inflammatory response. To eliminate micromotion, it is desi
