Journal ArticleDOI
Biological length scale topography enhances cell-substratum adhesion of human corneal epithelial cells
Nancy W. Karuri,Sara J. Liliensiek,Ana I. Teixeira,George A. Abrams,Sean Campbell,Paul F. Nealey,Christopher J. Murphy +6 more
TL;DR: Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the cells during and after flow indicated that the aligned and elongated cells on the 400 nm pitch were more tightly adhered compared to aligned cellson the larger patterns, which has relevance to interpretation of cell-biomaterial interactions in tissue engineering and prosthetic design.
Journal ArticleDOI
The elastic modulus of Matrigel™ as determined by atomic force microscopy
TL;DR: The procedures and results of indentation tests performed on Matrigel with atomic force microscopy (AFM) in an aqueous, temperature controlled environment are presented and the average modulus value was found to be approximately 450 Pa, considerably higher than macroscopic shear storage moduli reported in the scientific literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of Human Vascular Endothelial Cell Behaviors by Nanotopographic Cues
Sara J. Liliensiek,Joshua A. Wood,Jiang Yong,Robert Auerbach,Paul F. Nealey,Christopher J. Murphy +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, the data demonstrate that surface topographic features impact vascular endothelial cell behavior and that the impact of features varies with the cell behavior being considered, topographic feature scale, surface order, and the anatomic origin of the cell being investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining the mechanical properties of human corneal basement membranes with atomic force microscopy.
TL;DR: The determination of the elastic modulus of the anterior basement membrane and Descemet's membrane of the human cornea with atomic force microscopy will allow for the design of a better model of the cellular environment as well as aid in the design and fabrication of artificial corneas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of endothelial basement membrane nanotopography in rhesus macaque as a guide for vessel tissue engineering.
TL;DR: Results indicate that vascular basement membranes are composed of a complex meshwork consisting of pores and fibers in the submicron (100-1000 nm) and nanoscale (1-100 nm) range, consistent with what has previously been reported in basement membranes of other tissues.
