ABSTRACT:
By decomposing a molecular precursor we fabricated a novel
surface based on an aluminium/aluminiumoxide composite incorporating nanotopography
gradient to address high-throughput and fast analysis method for studying stem
cell differentiation by nanostructures. Depending on the topography of the
nanostructures, mesenchymal stem cells exhibit a diverse proliferation and
differentiation behavior.
