Abstract

Glass surfaces with well defined surface morphologies have been prepared using photolithography to study the effect of surface morphology on cell adhesion and function. Using a transformed recombinant cell-line, AtT-20, as a model of shear sensitive cell, we have shown that cell-substratum adhesion strength is enhanced using a surface with uniform grooves without any loss in cellular function. Furthermore, using primary hepatocytes as a model for a cell whose function is sensitive to its shape, we have shown that surface morphology can modulate cell shape as well as its function.
