Abstract
The time dependence of cell alignment and morphology (i.e., elongation) on anisotropic nanoscale gratings is characterized. The behavior of pre-osteoblasts cultured on nanoscale gradient patterns of transparent photopolymerized dimethacrylates was quantified. Grating patterns had a 200 nm or 400 nm line width and a corresponding 400 nm or 800 nm pitch. The pattern height decreased from several hundred nanometers on one end of the substrate to a flat surface on the other end of the substrate in continuous fashion. The morphology change of the cells on these patterns was studied, and cell alignment along the pattern and cell elongation as a function of pattern height were examined as a function of incubation time.Proceedings Title
