Cells adhering to biomaterials are influenced by the surface topography, the surface chemistry and the mechanical
colloids is tunable and determines the resolution of the pattern. Resolutions of few tens of nanometers can be achieved [74][75].
1.4 Materialsselection
The importance of choosing the appropriate material for cell–substrate interaction studies depends on the inherent ability of the material to be modified
