Polymers have gained a remarkable place in the biomedical field as materials for the
fabrication of various devices and for tissue engineering applications. The initial acceptance …

Regenerative medicine aims to create functional tissue replacements, typically through
creating a controlled environment that promotes and directs the differentiation of stem or …

Cell sheet technology enables novel approaches to tissue engineering without the use of
biodegradable scaffolds. Cell sheet technology consists of a temperature‐responsive culture …

Dynamic control of cell-surface interactions with near-infrared (NIR) light is particularly
attractive for regeneration medicine and cell-based therapy. Herein we successfully achieve …

Many approaches are used to modify the surface topography of implant materials. Some
produce unordered surfaces using, for example, classical implant surface treatments …

Cell fate is regulated by extracellular environmental signals. Receptor specific interaction of
the cell with proteins, glycans, soluble factors as well as neighboring cells can steer cells …

Modification of polymer substrates can essentially change the properties of material and
thereby it allows their usage in attractive fields of material research. Laser treatment can be …

Cell adhesion plays a central role in multicellular organisms and disease because it is not
only a physical link to the environment, but also can activate signaling pathways that have …

This paper describes simple, inexpensive, and potentially generic methodology for
generating patterns of mammalian cells on porous scaffolds for tissue engineering using …

Vascular tissue possesses numerous nanostructured surface features, but most metallic
vascular stents proposed to restore blood flow are smooth at the nanoscale. Thus, the …
