This review summarizes recent progress at the confluence of structural biomaterials
research and synthetic biology, focusing on biomedical applications involving programmed …

The exploration of cell response to nanotopography has attracted considerable attentions for
years. This article focuses on the influence of nanotopography on the intracellular Ca2+ …

Regulated cell shape change requires the induction of cortical cytoskeletal domains. Often,
local changes to plasma membrane (PM) topography are involved. Centrosomes organize …

We investigate how the geometry of elongate mineral particles (EMPs) in contact with cells
influences esotaxis, a recently discovered mechanism of texture sensing. Esotaxis is based …

Nanotopographic surfaces are a powerful tool for studying and controlling cell behavior.
However, the fabrication of nanotopographic master patterns using conventional …

Abstract Phosphatidylinositol (3, 4, 5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) is a signaling lipid on the plasma
membrane that plays a fundamental role in cell signaling with a strong impact on cell …

PIP3 is a signaling lipid on the plasma membrane that plays a fundamental role in cell
signaling with a strong impact on cell physiology and diseases. It is responsible for the …

The objective of this project is to tailor nanotopographies previously fabricated on large
areas through photomodification. The original master patterns consist of nanoridges created …

Directed migration is a crucial capability of cells in developmental and immunological
processes. Defects in cell migration can lead to negative health outcomes. Cell motion …
