Abstract

Cells react to topography on the micro and nanoscale with a variety of consequences. These reactions can be used to advantage in controlling cell behavior on the surfaces of prostheses. This short paper examines two of the possible causes of these reactions, namely diffusion effects caused by the shape of the substratum and stretch reception by the cells.
