CELL GEOMETRIC CONSTRAINTS REGULATE NUCLEAR AND CHROMATIN PLASTICITY VIA ACTOMYOSIN CONTRACTILITY
… In the first project, using micropillar substrates and correlation analysis techniques, we measured the time scale at which nuclear and chromatin dynamics respond to traction forces at cell periphery in unperturbed cells. In the second project, using nuclear envelope fluctuations and …

Functional and complex topological applications of plasma polymerized ultrathin films
… of novel plasma polymerized Janus microspheres, micropatterned substrates and free-standing films also demonstrate numerous plasma polymerized materials which exhibit unique structural properties. Overall, facile plasma polymerization of novel, functional ultrathin films and complex topological …

Lithograph regulation of cellular mechanical properties c by Tsu-Te Judith Su.
… structure of NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells plated on micropatterned substrates. Microcontact printing of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold was used to create a planar substrate of islands surrounded by non-adhesive regions. The cells were physically constrained within …

Cell seeding and proliferation simulations to plan experiments of multicellular osteogenic systems
… can be promoted in vitro via geometry using micropatterned substrates, or via seeding densities that allow for cell spreading. Due to the complexity of biological systems, typically, researchers use patterned substrates and inhibit proliferation, or observe proliferation on unpatterned …

Fabrication of topographically patterned hydrogel substrates and their influence on cell morphology
… the placement of cell extensions. When seeded on substrates with gaps larger than 10 μm, cells were found in the quasi-three dimensional environment between posts rather than on top. The cell morphology results provide parameters for the design of substrates and scaffolds intended for influencing …
