Controlling Cell Growth by Nanoparticles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
We report preliminary results of using nanoparticles to control cell attachment and growth. We present the way to create titanium surfaces with different roughness in a rage between 2 nm and 117 nm by using nanoparticles as a superficial layer and varying the evaporation parameters. We examined cell proliferation on titanium substrates with increased surface roughness compared to smooth titanium surface. We used nanoparticles to create a micrometer-sized lateral layout onto substrates preliminary structured by microcontact printing. We demonstrate controlled cell growth on substrates laterally structured with nanoparticles.
