Surface Topography Guides Morphology and Spatial Patterning of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Colonies

Summary: The relevance of topographic cues for commitment of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that groove-ridge structures with a periodicity in the submicrometer range induce elongation of iPSC colonies, guide the orientation of apical actin f...
