Microengineered structures

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Cell Biology
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Cellular responses to injury involve signal transduction pathways activated by soluble regulatory molecules like cytokines.
  • Extracellular matrix components, such as collagen, influence cell behavior through similar signal transduction mechanisms.
  • The cellular response to cytokines is significantly modulated by the extracellular matrix's biochemical and physical properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how geometrical parameters (area, shape) and surface attributes (materials, surface finish) of microengineered structures influence cellular responses.
  • To understand the role of microengineered surfaces in modulating cell-matrix interactions and subsequent cell behavior.
  • To explore the potential of tailored microengineered surfaces for controlling cell signaling and tissue regeneration.
