Abstract
This paper presents easy methods for guidance of animal cell growthin vitro. The surfaces of silicon wafers were treated using simple MEMS techniques in order for the formation of differentiated surfaces. Human epithelial cells incubated on these surfaces showed ordered growth and division patterns along the original design. These methods would be a useful basis in cell-based high throughput screenings and artificial skin.
