Multifunctional Bioinstructive 3D Architectures to Modulate Cellular Behavior (2019)
Journal Article
Vaithilingam, J., Sanjuan‐Alberte, P., Campora, S., Rance, G. A., Jiang, L., Thorpe, J., …Rawson, F. J. (2019). Multifunctional Bioinstructive 3D Architectures to Modulate Cellular Behavior. Advanced Functional Materials, 29(38), Article 1902016. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201902016

Biological structures control cell behavior via physical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical cues. Approaches that allow us to build devices that mimic these cues in a combinatorial way are lacking due to there being no suitable instructive materia...
