Impact of micro-scale regular topography on cell and tissue behaviors
Physical cues of a biomaterial surface such as topography have received extensive attention due to their ease of engineering and reproducible bioeffects.Although many studies have been reported,the relationship between the to-pography of biomaterial surface and cell/tissue behaviors could not be well evaluated due to the diversified topographies and experimental environments used in these studies.Here we designed 11 patterns(triangle,rectangle,circle,etc.),and employed them to fabricate two types of topographies(mi-cropit and microcolumn),resulting in 22 surface topo-graphies.We conducted comparative assessments of the bioeffects of these microtopographies on cell and tissue in vitro and in vivo.Our results revealed that grooves formed by continuous micropits exhibited a greater ability to accelerate cell migration.Among them,grooves composed of triangular micropits exhibited the strongest enhancement of cell migra-tion in vitro,reducing fibrous tissue encapsulation and pro-moting vascular formation in vivo.
