Bioinspired superhydrophobic patterned surfaces as chips for high-throughput analysis of biomaterials viscoelastic properties

Tissue-constituent cells are usually anchorage-dependent cells. Their viability is compromised when they are in a fluid suspension. The adhesion of these cells in the body occurs in solid elastic tissues. Mechanical properties of biomaterials were reported to have a role in modulating cells response...
