title = "Linear fibroblast alignment on sinusoidal wave micropatterns",
abstract = "We investigated the behavior of mouse embryonic fibroblasts on non-linear, sinusoidal wave grooves created via electron beam lithography (EBL) on a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrate. Three different wave patterns, with varying wavelengths and amplitudes, and two linear line patterns were created. For all wave patterns, we noted that cells did not reside within grooves as in line patterns; rather they aligned in a linear fashion, contacting the inside and outside of grooves. 74-81% of cells were aligned on the wave patterns, while 88-95% of cells were aligned on the line patterns.",
