Abstract
Cationic, anionic and non-ionic hydrogels having acrylamide polymer backbones were synthesized via free radical polymerization with N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) as crosslinker. The chemical structures of the hydrogels were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Physicochemical properties such as swelling kinetic, maximum swelling capacity, volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) and wettability (static water contact angle) of hydrogels swollen in aqueous and cell culture medium, at room and cell culture temperatures were studied. In order to correlate the surface properties of the hydrogels and cellular adhesivity of bovine fetal fibroblasts (BFFs), cellular behaviour was analyzed by inverted fluorescence optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). MTT assay demonstrated that the number of viable cells in contact with hydrogels does not significantly change in comparison to a control surface. Flattened and spindle-shaped cells and cell spheroids were the adopted morphologies during first days of culture on different hydrogels. Cell spheroids were easily obtained during the first 5days of culture in contact with PNIPAM-co-20%HMA (poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-20%N-acryloyl-tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane)) hydrogel surface. After 15days of culture all hydrogels showed high adhesion and visual proliferation. According to obtained results, non-ionic and hydrophilic surfaces with moderated wettability induce the formation of BFFs cell spheroids. These hydrogel surfaces could be used in clinical and biochemical treatments at laboratory level to cell growth and will allow generating the base for future biotechnologic platform.

Abstract
Design of biological signal-responsive biomaterials is essential for controlling cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Herein, we developed a dynamic hydrogel to control cell adhesion with biological signals in a cellular microenvironment. The basic principle was based on using nucleic acid aptamer to recognize cell signalling and control the display of bioligands on the hydrogel. Not only exogenous signalling but also endogenous signalling secreted by surrounding cells could activate the dynamic scaffold and tune the cell adhesion state. Since diverse aptamers have been developed, our design can be extended to multiple biological inputs. The biochemical signal-responsive system will greatly enhance the understanding of complex biological processes as well as the ability to manipulate cellular behaviors.

Abstract
A double polymeric nanolayer consisting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) and hydrophilic polyacrylamide (PAAm) was deposited on tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) surfaces using electron beam irradiation to form a new temperature-responsive cell culture surface in which the basal hydrophilic PAAm component in the double polymeric layer promotes the hydration of the upper PIPAAm layer and induces rapid cell detachment compared to a conventional temperature-responsive cell culture surface, PIPAAm-grafted TCPS (PIPAAm-TCPS). Take-off angle-dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectral analysis demonstrated that the grafted PIPAAm and PAAm components were located in the upper and basal regions of the double polymeric layer, respectively, suggesting that the double polymeric layer forms an inter-penetrating-network-like structure with PAAm at the basal portion of the PIPAAm grafted chains. The wettability of the temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces with the double polymeric layer tended to be more hydrophilic, with an increase in the basal PAAm graft density at a constant PIPAAm graft density. However, when the graft densities of the upper PIPAAm and basal PAAm were optimized, the resulting temperature-responsive cell culture surface with the double polymeric layer exhibited rapid cell detachment while maintaining cell adhesive character comparable to that of PIPAAm-TCPS. The cell adhesive character was altered from cell-adhesive to cell-repellent with increasing PAAm or PIPAAm graft density. The cell adhesive character of the temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces was relatively consistent with their contact angles. These results strongly suggest that the basal PAAm surface properties affect the degree of hydration and dehydration of the subsequently grafted PIPAAm. In addition, the roles of the hydrophilic component in accelerating cell detachment are further discussed in terms of the mobility of the grafted PIPAAm chains. Applications of this insight might be useful for designing temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces for achieving efficient cell culture and quick target cell detachment.

Abstract
A poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) grafted poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surface was prepared as a temperature-responsive cell culture surface by using electron beam (EB) irradiation. Different chemical treatments to modify the bare PDMS surface were investigated for subsequent grafting of PIPAAm, and treatment conditions were optimized to prepare the temperature-responsive cell culture surface. The PDMS surface was initially activated to form silanol groups with conventional O2 plasma or hydrochloric acid (HCl) treatment. Activated PDMS surfaces were individually immobilized with three different conventional silane compounds, i.e., 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MerTMS), 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MetTMS), and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AmiTMS). O2 plasma treatment made PDMS more hydrophilic. In contrast, PDMS surfaces activated with HCl treatment were relatively hydrophobic. Observation of the activated PDMS surface modified with MerTMS, MetTMS, and AmiTMS indicated that these silane compounds had been favorably immobilized on plasma-treated PDMS surfaces. FT-IR/ATR analysis demonstrated that immobilized silane compounds enabled PIPAAm grafting on the PDMS surface. Cell attachment and detachment analysis also suggested that the PDMS surface sequentially treated with O2 plasma and AmiTMS compound was a substrate appropriate for preparing a temperature-responsive cell culture surface by EB irradiation-induced PIPAAm grafting method. The intelligent surface may further be applied to mechanically stretchable temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces.

Abstract
We describe the construction of a ultrasonic device suitable for micro patterning particles and cells for tissue engineering applications. The device is formed by seven transducers shaped into a heptagon cavity. By exciting two and three transducers simultaneously, lines or hexagonal shapes can be formed with beads and cells. Furthermore, phase control of the transducers allows shifting the standing waves and thus patterning at different positions on a surface in a controlled manner. The paper discusses direct patterning of mammalian cells by ultrasound "stencil".

Abstract
Since protein patterning on 2D surfaces has emerged as an important tool in cell biology, the development of easy patterning methods has gained importance in biology labs. In this paper we present a simple, rapid and reliable technique to fabricate thin layers of UV curable polymer with through holes. These membranes are as easy to fabricate as microcontact printing stamps and can be readily used for stencil patterning. We show how this microfabrication scheme allows highly reproducible and highly homogeneous protein patterning with micron sized resolution on surfaces as large as 10 cm(2). Using these stencils, fragile proteins were patterned without loss of function in a fully hydrated state. We further demonstrate how intricate patterns of multiple proteins can be achieved by stacking the stencil membranes. We termed this approach microserigraphy.

Abstract
Titanium implants are sold in the market as storable medical devices. All the implants have a certain shelf life during which they maintain their sterility, but variations of the surface properties through this duration have not been subject to a comprehensive assessment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of storage methods on time-related changes of titanium surface properties. Acid-etched titanium discs (Sa = 0.82 µm) were placed in a sealed container (tradition method) or submerged in the ddH(2)O/NaCl solution (0.15 mol L(-1))/CaCl(2) solution (0.15 mol L(-1)), and new titanium discs were used as a control group. SEM and optical profiler showed that surface morphology and roughness did not change within different groups, but the XPS analysis confirmed that the surface chemistry altered by different storage protocols as the storage duration increased, and the contact angle also varied with storage methods. The storage method also affected the protein adsorption capacity and cellular response on the titanium surface. All titanium discs stored in the solution maintained their excellent bioactivity even after four weeks storage time, but titanium discs stored in a traditional manner decreased substantially in an age-dependent manner. Much effort is needed to improve the storage methods in order to maintain the bioactivity of a titanium dental implant.

Abstract
We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer brushes. We show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti-adhesive properties. Such brushes are readily patterned at the micron scale via deep UV photolithography. A proper choice of the adhesive pattern shapes, combined with the temperature-dependent swelling properties of PNIPAM, allow us to use the polymer brush as a microactuator which induces cell detachment when the temperature is reduced below C.

Abstract
In ophthalmology, hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important extracellular matrix (ECM) component and is appropriate for use in generating a microenvironment for cell cultivation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the rabbit corneal keratocyte (RCK) growth in response to HA coatings under serum-free conditions. After modification with HA of varying molecular weights (MWs: 35-1500kDa), the surfaces were characterized by atomic force microscopy and contact angle measurements, and were used for cell culture studies. Our data indicated that the substrates coated with higher negatively charged HA become rougher and are more hydrophilic, resulting in the decrease of cell adhesion and cell-matrix interaction. This early cellular event was likely responsible for the determination of keratocyte configuration. Additionally, for the growth of RCKs on dry HA coatings with surface roughness of 1.1-1.7 nm, a strong cell-cell interaction was observed, which may facilitate the formation of multicellular spheroid aggregates and maintenance of mitotically quiescent state. At each culture time point from 1 to 5 days, a better biosynthetic capacity associated with a higher prevalence of elevated ECM production was found for the cells in a spherical configuration. Irrespective of polysaccharide MW of surface coatings, the RCKs presented good viability without hypoxia-induced death. As compared with a monolayer of adherent keratocytes on tissue culture polystyrene plates and low MW HA-modified samples, the cell spheroids (76-110 μm in diameter) showed significantly higher expressions of keratocan and lumican and lower expressions of biglycan, similar to those of keratocytes in vivo. Moreover, the expression levels of corneal crystallin aldehyde dehydrogenase (7-9-fold increase) and nestin (10-16-fold increase) were greater in larger-sized spheroids, indicating higher ability to maintain cellular transparency and self-renewal potential. It is concluded that the cultured RCKs on surfaces coated with HA of different MWs can sense ECM cues, and the multicellular spheroids may potentially be used for corneal stromal tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
We present a method for laser lithography of cell-adhesive arrays on a fluoropolymer surface. The method is based on 172 nm excimer-lamp photomodification in ammonia atmosphere followed by microstructuring by laser ablation. The improved wettability of the polymer is caused by new chemical groups on the surface after the UV treatment that we proved by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The cell adhesion properties of micropatterned structures were tested by cultivation of mammalian cells. We show that single elongated cells can grow confined to lines with sharply defined boundaries of the cell-covered areas. In preliminary experiments, we also demonstrate that the described technique allows the production of single-cell arrays with variable cell shape.

Abstract
The effects of flow on endothelial cells (ECs) have been widely examined for the ability of fluid shear stress to alter cell morphology and function; however, the effects of EC morphology without flow have only recently been observed. An increase in lithographic techniques in cell culture spurred a corresponding increase in research aiming to confine cell morphology. These studies lead to a better understanding of how morphology and cytoskeletal configuration affect the structure and function of the cells. This review examines EC micropatterning research by exploring both the many alternative methods used to alter EC morphology and the resulting changes in cellular shape and phenotype. Micropatterning induced changes in EC proliferation, apoptosis, cytoskeletal organization, mechanical properties, and cell functionality. Finally, the ways these cellular manipulation techniques have been applied to biomedical engineering research, including angiogenesis, cell migration, and tissue engineering, are discussed.

Abstract
Cell fate is regulated by extracellular environmental signals. Receptor specific interaction of the cell with proteins, glycans, soluble factors as well as neighboring cells can steer cells towards proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis or migration. In this review, approaches to build cellular structures by engineering aspects of the extracellular environment are described. These methods include non-specific modifications to control the wettability and stiffness of surfaces using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) as well as methods where the temporal activation and spatial distribution of adhesion ligands is controlled. Building on these techniques, construction of two-dimensional cell sheets using temperature sensitive polymers or electrochemical dissolution is described together with current applications of these grafts in the clinical arena. Finally, methods to pattern cells in three-dimensions as well as to functionalize the 3D environment with biologic motifs take us one step closer to being able to engineer multicellular tissues and organs.

Abstract
Textured surfaces obtained by UV laser ablation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) films were used to study the effect of shape and spacing of surface features on cellular response. Two distinct patterns, cones and ripples with spacing from 2 to 25 μm, were produced. Surface features with different shapes and spacings were produced by varying pulse repetition rate, laser fluence, and exposure time. The effects of the surface texture parameters, i.e., shape and spacing, on cell attachment, proliferation, and morphology of neonatal human dermal fibroblasts and mouse fibroblasts were studied. Cell attachment was the highest in the regions with cones at ∼4 μm spacing. As feature spacing increased, cell spreading decreased, and the fibroblasts became more circular, indicating a stress-mediated cell shrinkage. This study shows that UV laser ablation is a useful alternative to lithographic techniques to produce surface patterns for controlling cell attachment and growth on biomaterial surfaces.

Abstract
Polymers have gained a remarkable place in the biomedical field as materials for the fabrication of various devices and for tissue engineering applications. The initial acceptance or rejection of an implantable device is dictated by the crosstalk of the material surface with the bioentities present in the physiological environment. Advances in microfabrication and nanotechnology offer new tools to investigate the complex signaling cascade induced by the components of the extracellular matrix and consequently allow cellular responses to be tailored through the mimicking of some elements of the signaling paths. Patterning methods and selective chemical modification schemes at different length scales can provide biocompatible surfaces that control cellular interactions on the micrometer and sub-micrometer scales on which cells are organized. In this review, the potential of chemically and topographically structured micro- and nanopolymer surfaces are discussed in hopes of a better understanding of cell-biomaterial interactions, including the recent use of biomimetic approaches or stimuli-responsive macromolecules. Additionally, the focus will be on how the knowledge obtained using these surfaces can be incorporated to design biocompatible materials for various biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, implants, cell-based biosensors, diagnostic systems, and basic cell biology. The review focusses on the research carried out during the last decade.

Abstract
Patterning of gene delivery on sub-millimeter length scales within tissue engineering scaffolds is fundamental to recreating the complex architectures of tissues. Surface-mediated delivery of lipoplexes mixed with fibronectin was investigated to pattern vectors within 250 microm channels in poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) bridges. Initial studies performed in vitro on PLG surfaces indicated that a DNA density of 0.07 microg mm(-2) inside each channel with a weight ratio of DNA to fibronectin of 1:20 maximized the number of transfected cells and the levels of transgene expression. Patterned vectors encoding for nerve growth factor (NGF) resulted in localized neurite extension within the channel. Translation to three-dimensional multiple-channel bridges enabled patterned transfection of different vectors throughout the channels for DNA:fibronectin ratios of 1:4 and multiple DNA depositions, with a large increase of neural cell bodies and neurite extension for delivery of DNA encoding for NGF. In vivo, the immobilization of non-viral vectors within the channels resulted in localized transfection within the pore structure of the bridge immediately around the channels of the bridge containing DNA. This surface immobilization strategy enables patterned gene delivery in vitro and in vivo on length scales of hundreds of microns and may find utility in strategies aimed at regenerating tissues with complex architectures.

Abstract
Herein, a functional template made up of in situ synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is prepared on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for the spatial control of cell capture, where the residual Si-H groups in the PDMS matrix are used as reductants to reduce AgNO(3) for forming AgNPs. In virtue of microfluidic system, a one-dimensional array pattern of AgNPs is obtained easily. Further combining with plasma treatment, a two-dimensional array pattern of AgNPs could be achieved. The obtained PDMS-AgNPs composite is characterized in detail. The PDMS-AgNPs composite shows good antibacterial property in E. coli adhesion tests. The patterns possess hifi and high resolution (ca. 8 microm). Cell patterns with high efficiency and spatial selectivity are further formed with the aid of H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys-OH (RGDC) tetrapeptide which is grafted on the AgNPs template. Cells immobilized on the template show a good ability for adhesion, spreading, migration, and growth.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel approach for preparing patterned Au/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrate. Chemical gold plating instead of conventional metal evaporation or sputtering was introduced to achieve a homogeneous gold layer on native PDMS for the first time, which possesses low-cost and simple operation. An electrochemical oxidation reaction accompanied by the coordination of gold and chloride anion was then exploited to etch gold across the region covered by electrolyte. On the basis of such an electrochemical etching, heterogeneous Au/PDMS substrate which has a gold "island" pattern or PDMS dots pattern was fabricated. Hydrogen bubbles which were generated in the etching process due to water electrolysis were used to produce a safe region under the Pt auxiliary electrode. The safe region would protect gold film from etching and lead to the formation of the gold "island" pattern. In virtue of a PDMS stencil with holes array, gold could be etched from the exposed region and take on the PDMS dots pattern which was selected to for protein and cell patterning. This patterned Au/PDMS substrate is very convenient to construct cytophobic and cytophilic regions. Self-assembled surface modification of (1-mercaptoundec-11-yl)hexa(ethylene glycol) on gold and adsorption of fibronectin on PDMS are suitable for effective protein and cell patterning. This patterned Au/PDMS substrate would be a potentially versatile platform for fabricating biosensing arrays.

Abstract
This article describes a photochemical method for the site-selective assembly of heterotypic cells on a glass substrate modified with a silane coupling agent having a caged functional group. Silane coupling agents having a carboxyl (COOH), amino (NH 2), hydroxyl (OH), or thiol (SH) group protected by a photocleavable 2-nitrobenzyl group were synthesized to modify the surfaces of glass coverslips. The caged substrates were first coated by the adsorption of a blocking agent, bovine serum albumin (BSA), to make the entire surface non-cell-adhesive and then irradiated at 365 nm under a standard fluorescence microscope. The photocleavage reaction on the surface was followed by contact angle measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. When COS7, NIH3T3, and HEK293 cells were seeded onto these substrates in a serum-free medium, the cells adhered selectively and efficiently to the irradiated regions on the caged NH 2 substrate, whereas the other caged COOH, SH, and OH substrates were nonphotoactivatable for cell adhesion. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of BSA adsorbed to the uncaged substrates revealed that this highly efficient photoactivation on the caged NH 2 substrate arose because of the following reasons: (i) upon photoactivation, BSA adsorbed in advance on the 2-nitrobenzyl groups was readsorbed onto the uncaged functional groups and (ii) BSA readsorbed onto the NH 2 groups became unable to passivate the surface against cell adhesion whereas BSA on the other groups still had normal passivating activity. It was also demonstrated that heterotypic single COS7, NIH3T3, and HEK293 cells were positioned at any desired arrangement on the caged NH 2 substrate by repeating the UV irradiation at optimized array spot sizes and cell seeding in optimized cell concentrations. The present method will be particularly useful in studying the dynamic processes of cell-cell interactions at a single-cell level.

Abstract
Hollow fiber scaffolds that compartmentalize axonal processes from their cell bodies can enable neuronal cultures with directed neurite outgrowth within a three-dimensional (3-D) space for controlling neuronal cell networking in vitro. Controllable 3-D neuronal networks in vitro could provide tools for studying neurobiological events. In order to create such a scaffold, polyethersulfone (PES) microporous hollow fibers were ablated with a KrF excimer laser to generate specifically designed channels for directing neurite outgrowth into the luminal compartments of the fibers. Excimer laser modification is demonstrated as a reproducible method to generate 5microm diameter channels within PES hollow fiber walls that allow compartmentalization of neuronal cell bodies from their axons. Laser modification of counterpart flat sheet PES membranes with peak surface fluences of 1.2Jcm(-2) results in increased hydrophobicity and laminin adsorption on the surface compared with the unmodified PES surface. This is correlated to enhanced PC12 cell adhesion with increasing fluence onto laser-modified PES membrane surfaces coated with laminin when compared with unmodified surfaces. Adult rat neural progenitor cells differentiated on PES fibers with laser-created channels resulted in spontaneous cell process growth into the channels of the scaffold wall while preventing entrance of cell bodies. Therefore, laser-modified PES fibers serve as scaffolds with channels conducive to directing neuronal cell process growth. These hollow fiber scaffolds can potentially be used in combination with perfusion and oxygenation hollow fiber membrane sets to construct a hollow fiber-based 3-D bioreactor for controlling and studying in vitro neuronal networking in three dimensions between compartmentalized cultures.

Abstract
Vascular tissue possesses numerous nanostructured surface features, but most metallic vascular stents proposed to restore blood flow are smooth at the nanoscale. Thus, the objective of the present study was to determine in vitro vascular cell functions on nanostructured titanium (Ti) compared to conventional commercially pure (c.p.) Ti. Results of this study showed for the first time greater competitive adhesion of endothelial versus vascular smooth muscle cells on nanostructured Ti compared to conventional Ti after 4 hours. Moreover, when cultured separately, increased endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell density was observed on nanostructured Ti compared to conventional c.p. Ti after 1, 3, and 5 days; endothelial cells formed confluent monolayers before vascular smooth muscle cells on nanostructured Ti. Results also showed greater total amounts of collagen and elastin synthesis by vascular cells when cultured on nanostructured Ti. Since a major mode of failure of conventional vascular stents is the overgrowth of smooth muscle cells compared to endothelial cells, these results suggest that while the functions of both types of vascular cells were promoted on nanostructured c.p. Ti, endothelial cell functions (of particular importance, cell density or confluence) were enhanced over that of vascular smooth muscle cells. Thus, the present in vitro study showed that vascular stents composed of nanometer c.p. Ti particles may invoke advantageous cellular responses for improved stent applications.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to create functional tissue replacements, typically through creating a controlled environment that promotes and directs the differentiation of stem or progenitor cells, either endogenous or transplanted. Scaffolds serve a central role in many strategies by providing the means to control the local environment. Gene delivery from the scaffold represents a versatile approach to manipulating the local environment for directing cell function. Research at the interface of biomaterials, gene therapy, and drug delivery has identified several design parameters for the vector and the biomaterial scaffold that must be satisfied. Progress has been made towards achieving gene delivery within a tissue engineering scaffold, though the design principles for the materials and vectors that produce efficient delivery require further development. Nevertheless, these advances in obtaining transgene expression with the scaffold have created opportunities to develop greater control of either delivery or expression and to identify the best practices for promoting tissue formation. Strategies to achieve controlled, localized expression within the tissue engineering scaffold will have broad application to the regeneration of many tissues, with great promise for clinical therapies.

Abstract
The introduction of microelectronics technology in the area of biological sciences has brought forth previously unforeseeable applications such as DNA or protein biochips, miniaturized, multiparametric biosensors for high performance multianalyte assays, DNA sequencing, biocomputers, and substrates for controlled cell growth (i.e. tissue engineering). We developed and investigated a new method using "cold" excimer laser beam technology combined with microlithographical techniques to create surfaces with well defined 3D microdomains in order to delineate critical microscopic surface features governing cell-material interactions. Microfabricated surfaces with microgrooves 30-3 microm deep, 10 - 1 microm wide spaced 30 microm apart were obtained with micron resolution, by "microsculpturing" polymer model surfaces using a computer controlled laser KrF excimer beam coupled with a microlithographic projection technique. The laser beam after exiting a mask was focused onto the polymer target surface via an optical setup allowing for a 10-fold reduction of the mask pattern. Various 3D micropatterned features were obtained at the micron level. Reproducible submicron features could also be obtained using this method. Subsequently, model human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured on the laser microfabricated surfaces in order to study the effects of specific microscopic surface features on cell deposition and orientation. Cell deposition patterns were found to be microstructure dependant, and showed cell orientation dependency for features in the cell range dimension, a behaviour significantly different from that of a previously studied cell model (osteoprogenitor cell). This model may be a promising in so far as it is very rapid (a time frame less than a second per square centimeter of micropatterned surface) and provides further insights into the effects of surface microtopography on cell response with possible applications in the field of biosensors, biomedical and/or pharmaceutical engineering sciences.

Abstract
Single-step methods for the generation of patterned surfaces on hydrogels are presented. Poly(vinyl alcohol) films covalently bonded on glass cover slips and commercially available hydrogel-coated polystyrene plates were used as cell-repellent surfaces. Cell-adhesive domains were created by spotting dilute solutions of sodium hypochlorite onto the surfaces. Alternatively, domains supporting cell attachment were created by exposure to UV light from a xenon excimer lamp, employing a contact mask. Rat skeletal myoblast cells, HEK 293 human embryonic kidney cells and Caco-2 colon carcinoma cells adhered and spread exclusively on modified areas. The surfaces are durable for weeks under cell culture conditions and re-usable after removal of the cells by trypsin treatment. Arrays of adhesive spots seeded with cells at a low density permitted dynamic monitoring of cell proliferation. Selected colonies can be harvested from the surfaces by means of local trypsination. Thus, these techniques may provide useful tools for the isolation of clonal cell populations. Additionally, we demonstrate the possibility of surface-mediated gene delivery from the micro patterns. We show that DNA, complexed with a lipid reagent, can be adsorbed on modified poly(vinyl alcohol) coatings, resulting in spatially controlled adhesion and reverse transfection of HEK 293 cells.

Abstract
In the body, vascular cells continuously interact with tissues that possess nanostructured surface features due to the presence of proteins (such as collagen and elastin) embedded in the vascular wall. Despite this fact, vascular stents intended to restore blood flow do not have nanoscale surface features but rather are smooth at the nanoscale. As the first step towards creating the next generation of vascular stent materials, the objective of this in vitro study was to investigate vascular cell (specifically, endothelial, and vascular smooth muscle cell) adhesion on nanostructured compared with conventional commercially pure (cp) Ti and CoCrMo. Nanostructured cp Ti and CoCrMo compacts were created by separately utilizing either constituent cp Ti or CoCrMo nanoparticles as opposed to conventional micron-sized particles. Results of this study showed for the first time increased endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell adhesion on nanostructured compared with conventional cp Ti and CoCrMo after 4 hours' adhesion. Moreover, compared with their respective conventional counterparts, the ratio of endothelial to vascular smooth muscle cells increased on nanostructured cp Ti and CoCrMo. In addition, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells had a better spread morphology on the nanostructured metals compared with conventional metals. Overall, vascular cell adhesion was better on CoCrMo than on cp Ti. Results of surface characterization studies demonstrated similar chemistry but significantly greater root-mean-square (rms) surface roughness as measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) for nanostructured compared with respective conventional metals. For these reasons, results from the present in vitro study provided evidence that vascular stents composed of nanometer compared with micron-sized metal particles (specifically, either cp Ti or CoCrMo) may invoke cellular responses promising for improved vascular stent applications.

Abstract
This paper describes simple, inexpensive, and potentially generic methodology for generating patterns of mammalian cells on porous scaffolds for tissue engineering using replica printing. Circular patterns (diameter: 200, 700, and 1000 microm) of human osteoblasts were transferred directly from topographically patterned agarose stamps onto porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds or onto fibronectin-coated glass slides. The use of hydrogel stamps provided a "wet", biocompatible surface and maintained the viability of cells adsorbed on stamps during the patterning process. Stamps inked once with suspensions of cells allowed the repeated patterning of substrates. Direct stamping of human osteoblasts (and, potentially other mammalian cells) can be used to control the size, spacing, and geometry of patterns of cells printed on porous tissue engineering substrates. This approach may find use in controlling the spatial invasion of scaffolds, promoting the hierarchical organization of cells, and in controlling cell-cell interactions as a step in preservation of phenotypes of cells.

Abstract
Cellular differentiation, organization, proliferation and apoptosis are determined by a combination of an intrinsic genetic program, matrix/substrate interactions, and extracellular cues received from the local microenvironment. These molecular cues come in the form of soluble (e.g. cytokines) and insoluble (e.g. ECM proteins) factors, as well as signals from surrounding cells that can promote specific cellular processes leading to tissue formation or regeneration. Recent developments in the field of tissue engineering have employed biomaterials to present these cues, providing powerful tools to investigate the cellular processes involved in tissue development, or to devise therapeutic strategies based on cell replacement or tissue regeneration. These inductive scaffolds utilize natural and/or synthetic biomaterials fabricated into three-dimensional structures. This review summarizes the use of scaffolds in the dual role of structural support for cell growth and vehicle for controlled release of tissue inductive factors, or DNA encoding for these factors. The confluence of molecular and cell biology, materials science and engineering provides the tools to create controllable microenvironments that mimic natural developmental processes and direct tissue formation for experimental and therapeutic applications.
