Nano-and Micro-patterned Biomaterials

1 Results Our objective is two fold: we (ⅰ) aim at the development of novel patterning methodologies in order to (ⅱ) achieve control over the positioning and alignment of living cells.The patterning of the biointerfaces is carried out both at the micro-and nanometer scale and involve (bio)chemical as well as topographic patterns.The former are relatively easily obtained by patterning techniques adapted from (conventional) soft lithography,e.g.by means of micro-contact printing (μ-CP).The topographic pat...
