Controlling Microbial Colonization and Biofilm Formation Using Topographical Cues
This dissertation introduces assembly of spherical particles as a novel topography-based anti-biofouling coating. It also provides new insights on the effects of surface topography, especially local curvature, on cell–surface and cell–cell interactions during the evolution of biofilms. I …

Controlling Microbial Adhesion to the Surfaces Using Topographical Cues
… bacterial adhesion to surfaces using nanofibrous topographical features.

Decellularized Apium graveolens Scaffold for Cell Culture and Guided Alignment of C2C12 Murine Myoblast
… it lacks a number of physical, biochemical, and topographical cues necessary to recapitulate the microenvironment sensed by cells. A crucial characteristic of skeletal muscle tissue is the aligned arrangement of myofibers. Yet, a great deal of knowledge has come from in vitro studies where cells …

The Impact of substrate texture on cell behavior
… in investigating the effects of physical cues on the behaviour of the cells. Development of fabrication techniques has allowed researchers to design topographical cues at the micro and nanometer scale. In this study, we fabricated fibronectin stripes, which mimic some of the frequent …

Influence of the 3D microenvironment on glioblastoma migration and drug response
… to simulate the composition of brain ECM and the topographical cues of vasculature. Comparison of this model with Matrigel and collagen type-I showed that GBM exhibits different migration modes such as collective expansion, multicellular strands, and single cell migration as a response to the ECM …

Complementary strategies to promote the regeneration of bone-ligament transitions using graded electrospun scaffolds
… solutions in the overlap region in between. The topographical cues within these scaffolds were shown to result in region-dependent BMSC morphology and orientation. Although the long-term goal of the third strategy was to create a co-electrospun scaffold possessing a gradient in GF concentration, …

Application of self-rolled-up membrane technology for enhanced neuron guidance and alignment
… from a combination of the loss of essential cues that disappear post-developmentally, and complications from inflammatory response and glial scarring. Engineered therapies for neural regeneration are a burgeoning area of interest, with many techniques being explored to improve existing …
