On cell separation with topographically engineered surfaces.
BACKGROUND Topographical modifications of the surface influence several cell functions and can be exploited to modulate cellular activities such as adhesion, migration and proliferation. These complex interactions are cell-type specific, therefore engineered substrates featuring patterns of two or more different topographies may be used to obtain the selective separation of different cell linea...
متن کاملTopographically modified surfaces affect orientation and growth of hippocampal neurons.
Extracellular matrix molecules provide biochemical and topographical cues that influence cell growth in vivo and in vitro. Effects of topographical cues on hippocampal neuron growth were examined after 14 days in vitro. Neurons from hippocampi of rat embryos were grown on poly-L-lysine-coated silicon surfaces containing fields of pillars with varying geometries. Photolithography was used to fab...
متن کاملTailoring Hydrodynamics of Non-wetting Droplets with Nano-engineered Surfaces
Considering that contacts between liquid and solid are ubiquitous in almost all energy processes, including steam turbines, oil pumping, condensers and boilers, the efficiency of energy transportation can be maximized such that the liquid-solid interaction is optimized. Texture based super-hydrophobicity, also known as the Lotus effect, has been one of the most extensively studied topics in the...
متن کاملSeparation Surfaces through Genetic Programming
The aim of this paper is to describe a study for the obtaining, symbolically, of the separation surfaces between clusters of a labelled database. A separation surface is an equation with the form φ (x)=0, where φ is a function of R→ R. The calculation of function φ is begun by the development of the parametric regression by means of the use of the Genetic Programming. The symbolic regression co...
متن کاملCharacterisation of nanomaterial hydrophobicity using engineered surfaces
Characterisation of engineered nanomaterials (NMs) is of outmost importance for the assessment of the potential risks arising from their extensive use. NMs display indeed a large variety of physico-chemical properties that drastically affect their interaction with biological systems. Among them, hydrophobicity is an important property that is nevertheless only slightly covered by the current ph...
