Ultrafast Micrometric Laser Structuring of Polymer Surfaces for Highly Organized Skeletal Muscle Tissue Modeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Standard cell culture supports were functionalized by laser‐structuring to generate advanced topographies tailored to skeletal muscle tissue. The physicochemical modifications of the polymeric surfaces and their interactions with cells were thoroughly investigated, confirming both safety and effectiveness in guiding muscle cell organization.
