Biomimetic micro/nano structures for biomedical applications

Cell behaviors are influenced by the surrounding dynamic microenvironment where the extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of different micro/nano-structures plays a key role. Many micro/nano-structures have been developed to mimic the structure of ECM, but these structures are almost static, and fail to emulate the dynamicity and function of the ECM in vivo. Notably, certain micro/nano-structures based on shape-memory polymers (SMPs), including...
