External seminar - Claire Leclech (Ecole Polytechnique)

Adherent cells in vivo reside on extracellular matrices (ECMs) that possess a topographical organization at different scales. Various types of engineered microstructured substrates have been developed to study the impact of basal topographical cues on cell behavior in vitro. Amongst them, microgrooves mimicking the anisotropic organization of the ECM have been shown to align and elongate different cell types.
