TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the resolution limits of EBL in the conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) organic resist and show that resolution can be pushed below 10 nm for isolated features and dense arrays of periodic structures can be fabricated at a pitch of 30 nm, leading to a density close to 700 Gbit/in2.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the ECM controls the location of actin dynamics at the membrane, and thus the segregation of cortical components in interphase and mitosis and is maintained on the cortex of mitotic cells and used for spindle orientation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ECM geometry determines the orientation of cell polarity axes and proposed a working model that accounts for that observation concludes that, in addition to molecular composition and mechanical properties,ECM geometry plays a key role in developmental processes.

TL;DR: The acquisition of cell shape follows two stages where initially the cell forms contact with the micropattern, and it is concluded that cells of a given area can generate the same total sum of tractional force but that these tractional forces are differently spaced depending on the spatial distribution of its adherence contacts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions to be fulfilled on the surface design (which provides super-hydrophobicity) to observe such a behavior were discussed, and the reduction of the scale of the microstructure provided a robust water repellency.
