Abstract
Cells were examined on how to recognize and respond to adhesive interactions with the insoluble extracellular matrix (ECM) by using conventional and non-conventional microfabrication approaches to engineer well-defined cellular microenvironments. Control and monitoring of compositional chemistry, mechanical properties, architecture and geometry of the adhesive interactions were addressed as well as the resulting progress in identifying and elucidating the mechanisms by which cells sense the physical, chemical, and structural information carried within the ECM.
