Exploring and Engineering the Cell Surface Interface
Abstract
Cells are inherently sensitive to local mesoscale, microscale, and nanoscale patterns of chemistry and topography. We review current approaches to control cell behavior through the nanoscale engineering of materials surfaces. Far-reaching implications are emerging for applications including medical implants, cell supports, and materials that can be used as instructive three-dimensional environments for tissue regeneration.

In a three-dimensional collagen fibril matrix, a migrating breast carcinoma cell produces similar forces despite changes in the stiffness of the matrix.
“They found that similar forces are generated even as the stiffness of the matrix is changed.”
From Modeling physiological events in 2D vs. 3D cell culture (2017) · cites this paper as [105]
Steinwechs et al. were the first to measure the forces generated by a breast carcinoma cell as it migrated through a three-dimensional collagen fibril matrix.
“Steinwechs et al. (105) quantified, for the first time, the forces resulting from a breast carcinoma cell that migrates within a 3D collagen fibril matrix.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
