  • Biomaterial substrates, cell culture systems comprising the same and uses thereof in cell screening applications
    Patent number: 11767505
    Abstract: The invention relates to the fields of biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. More specifically, it relates to biomaterial substrates having precise surface properties and the use thereof to investigate cell-material interactions. Provided is a cell culture system having a biomaterial substrate which has at least a first linear surface gradient oriented orthogonally to a second linear surface gradient, wherein the first gradient and the second gradient are selected from the group consisting of stiffness (S), (aligned) topography (T) and wettability (W). Also provided is a cell screening platform having a combination of at least two, preferably at least three, more preferably four distinct cell culture systems.
