Imaging Cell-Matrix Interactions in 3D Collagen Hydrogel Culture Systems.

abstract：:The nanostructure of a biomaterial surface has strong influence on cell behavior. The migration of cells on nanostructured surfaces, however, has not been investigated so far. In this study, we used PCL/PEG diblock copolymers as model surfaces to examine the effect of nanoislands on migration of different cells, inclu...
