Development of a Novel Single-Cell Attachment and Spreading Platform Utilizing Fused-Fiber Nanonets

Initial attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and consequent spreading is a necessary process in the cell cycle of which little is known. Cell spreading has been well-recognized in 2D systems, however, the native fibrous ECM presents cells with 3D biophysical cues. Thus, using suspended fibe...
