A particular emphasis will be given to micro and nanofabrication technologies that allow to fabricate structures that mimic the natural architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and biological tissues, highlighting emerging approaches that have permitted to achieve an increasingly more sophisticated ability to manufacture three-dimensional substrates to investigate cell response. Finally, the effects of micro- and nano-engineered surfaces under in vivo conditions will be distinctively addressed. The symposium will consider the creation of novel ultra-small features that recently have been attracting much attention, such as nanometric clusters of adhesion molecules and cellular protrusions that have been referred to as nanopodia. substrate’s stiffness, stiffness gradients) to these events will also be considered. The contribution of the physical/mechanical environment (e.g. focal adhesions, lamellopodia and filopodia), bacterial protrusions, proteins and gene expression, among others. surface chemistry, surface functionalization, chemical gradients) environment, both at the micro and nanoscale, on the events that ultimately dictate cell fate, including cell migration, cell deformation and shape, biomechanical alterations, development of adhesion structures (e.g. micro and nanostructures) and chemical (e.g. A particular emphasis will be given to the effects of the topographical (e.g. This symposium will cover recent advances on the mechanisms that control how mammalian cells and bacteria respond to micro- and nano-engineered surfaces. Adhering cells including bacteria sense and respond to the substrate’s physicochemical properties as well as surface mechanics and cell deformations at the micro- and nanoscale.
