Center for Advanced Biomaterials for Health Care IIT@CRIB, Largo Barsanti e Matteucci 53, 80125 NA, IT.

Lucia Rossano received her Master Degree in Biomedical Engineering cum laude from the University of Naples “Federico II”, discussing an experimental thesis on “Microparticles for intravitreal growth factor release”, under the supervision of Prof. Paolo Netti. Since November 2014 she is working as Ph.D. student at the Center for Advanced Biomaterials for Health Care, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Department of Materials and Production Engineering of the University of Naples, under the supervision of Dr. Silvia Cavalli and Prof. Paolo Netti. Her doctoral studies focus on fabrication and characterization of dynamic reversible substrates to study and guide cell behavior.

Abstract

The cellular response to the external environment is a central aspect in tissue engineering and biomedical science. The topographical signals play an important role in cell-material interactions; in particular, in natural... [ view full abstract ]
