Abstract
Predesigned silica nanofractal substrates are utilized for rapid cell patterning, based on differential cell adhesion originating from surface topographic interactions. Cell patterns with various shapes are successfully formed, from simple geometrical shapes to a complex "CELL" symbol. This study assists understanding of cell-substrate interactions and facilitates biological applications.Entities:
