cells on nanoscale substrates is the dimensional similarities with some of the structural compo-
nents found in the native ECM and or basement membranes. However, much of the underlying
mechanisms for this enhanced response remain unknown and the interactions with nanostructured
scaffolds have not yet been fully realized. However there is a clear need for further research on the
subject to investigate the effects of nanofi ber architecture and interfacial properties on cell behavior,
which has just started to be realized.
