Abstract

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) exhibit diverse behaviors responding to their microenvironment. Here we developed an effective method for precise control of local nanoroughness on glass substrates using the reactive ion etching (RIE) and photolithography techniques. We for the first time demonstrated that the local nanoroughness could mediate hESC functions, including morphology, attachment, proliferation and differentiation.
