Mammalian cell behaviors are highly regulated by the complex cell microenvironments. In vitro models with precise manipulation of cell-substrate interactions can provide realistic insights into the chemical and topographical signals which critically affect cell functions. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDM...
