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 Surface microgeometry strongly influences the shapes, orientations, and growth characteristics of cultured cells, but inβdepth, quantitative studies of these effects are lacking. We investigated several contact guidance effects in cells within βdotβ colonies of primary fibroblasts and i
## Abstract Surface energy of implant material is one of the important factors in the process of osseointegration. How surface energy regulates the signaling pathway of osteoblasts, however, is not well understood. Cell adhesion is one of the first steps essential to subsequent proliferation and di
