TL;DR: An extensive analysis of recent efforts to mimic functional nanostructures in vitro for improved tissue engineering and regeneration of injured and damaged tissues shows that the nanotopography itself can activate tissue-specific function in vitro as well as promote tissue regeneration in vivo upon transplantation.

TL;DR: This review provides a brief overview of patterning methods of various polymers with a particular focus on biocompatibility and processability and discusses how micro- and nanofabricated polymeric substrates of tunable elastic modulus can be used to engineer cell and tissue structure and function.

TL;DR: Several factors collectively exert a profound effect on the AQP2 trafficking in the collecting ducts, which is associated with actin cytoskeletal reorganization, suggesting that the process is reversible and the fluidic environment regulates the reorganization of intracellular F-actin.

TL;DR: Janus-compartmental alginate microbeads having two divided phases of sensory polydiacetylene (PDA) liposomes and magnetic nanoparticles were fabricated for facile sensory applications and selective and convenient colorimetric detection of lead(II) and efficient removal of lead (II) byAlginate matrix at the same time are demonstrated.

TL;DR: The properties, functions and applications of stimuli-responsive hydrogel patterns in bioanalytical applications are highlighted and some representative examples in microfluidics and microarrays are presented.
