Abstract

In this chapter, the development of novel bio-inspired surfaces with hierarchical micro- and nanoscale topographic structures for efficient capture and release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is reported. The three-dimensional hierarchically structured surfaces were facilely fabricated by replicating the natural micro- and nanostructures of rose petals onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates.
