Ultrafast Micrometric Laser Structuring of Polymer Surfaces for Highly Organized Skeletal Muscle Tissue Modeling

ABSTRACT Engineered surface topographies have proven to be an efficient method to replicate in vitro the architecture of highly organized tissues by controlling the spatial arrangement of cells. In this work, we studied the ability to guide muscle cell development using femtoseco...
