To evaluate the effect of surface treatment and surface microtexture on cellular behavior, smooth and microtextured silicone substrata were produced. The microtextured substrata possessed parallel surface grooves with a width and spacing of 2.0 (SilD02), 5.0 (SilD05), and 10 pm (SilDlO). The groove

The microfilaments and vinculin-containing attachment complexes of rat dermal fibroblasts (RDF) incubated on microtextured surfaces were investigated with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and digital image analysis (DIA). In addition, depositions of bovine and endogenous fibronectin and vit
## Abstract We have constructed a chitosan nonwoven nanofiber mesh tube consisting of oriented fibers by the electrospinning method. The efficacy of oriented nanofibers on Schwann cell alignment and positive effect of this tube on peripheral nerve regeneration were confirmed. The physical propertie
## Abstract Seeding of artificial nerve grafts with Schwann cells is a promising strategy for bridging large nerve defects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the adhesion and growth of human Schwann cells (HSCs) on 1,3βtrimethylene carbonate (TMC) and Ο΅βcaprolactone copolymers, with the
## Abstract Osteopontin (OPN) is an important extracellular matrix protein that has been shown to impact wound healing, inflammation, and the foreign body reaction, and has been identified as a potential surface component for engineered biomaterials. OPN contains the arginineβglycineβaspartic acid
Using surface-photochemistry-driven microprocessing, striped patterns of cell-adhesive and nonadhesive domains were prepared on tissue-culture dishes. The width of striped patterns ranged from 20 to 130 Fm. When endothelial cells were cultured on such dimensionally well-defined surfaces, cells adher
