DEVICE FOR GUIDING CELL MIGRATION AND METHOD OF GUIDING CELL MIGRATION IMPLEMENTING SUCH A DEVICE

摘要

A guiding device in which cells are confined between a support surface and a textured surface of a substrate, said textured surface having an anisotropic three-dimensional structure having a repeating pattern that repeats according to a repeat axis, said repeating pattern having a succession of guide spaces adjacent to one another according to the repeat axis, each of said guide spaces being capable of receiving at least one portion of one of the cells and being oriented according to a direction of anisotropy to guide a movement of the cells in the direction of anisotropy.
