Hypertension is one of the most widespread pathologies in the developed world, affecting the majority of people over the age of 55.Following prolonged hypertension, cardiac fibroblasts within the heart convert to myofibroblasts, a larger, contractile phenotype that produces fibrous connective tissue and thereby stiffens heart muscle.

Surface properties are of prime importance in establishing the response to tissue to biomaterials with topography appearing to provide a set of very powerful signals for cells.
Adult stem cells are distributed in variety of tissues and the stemness of these cells is maintained by the stem cell "niche".Growing evidence suggests that the cell-cell contact plays an important ro
Many biological processes in the body are mediated by physical or biochemical signal gradients.There are many kinds of signal gradients in the body, including chemotaxis, heptotaxis, and mechanotaxis.
Biomaterials can play central role in biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine by facilitating cellular behavior and function, such as those where extracellular matrix (ECM) can facilitate emb
