Dynamics of Spreading and Alignment of Cells Cultured In Vitro on a Grooved Polymer Surface

We used mechanically embossed polyester films to analyze the dynamics of cell alignment and cell-specific factors modulating the response of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and of a rat myogenic cell line to the surface topography. The films used had grooves with a periodicity of approximately 750...
