Superhydrophobic platforms for the combinatorial analysis of biomaterials-cells interactions using arrays of 3D scaffolds with distinct mechanical and morphological properties

High-throughput studies of cells mechanotransduction are usually performed using 2D biomaterials. However, cells-extracellular matrix interactions in the body occur in 3D environment. By using cells entrapped in hydrogels, it is not easy to isolate the mechanical effect from the chemical cues of bio...
