Nanoscale cues regulate the structure and function of macroscopic cardiac tissue constructs (2009, background): “The underlying mechanism of this effect is likely similar to the shape control of other cell types on nanotopographically defined substrata (6, 30), owing to a strong influence of the nanoridges and nanogrooves on the organization of focal adhesions and cortical cytoskeleton, as confirmed by our ana”
