Regulation of Differentiation of Physical Signals Mediated by Nanostructures, and Their Application in Tissue Regeneration

摘要

Besides the biological growth factors,small organic molecules,and chemical ions,physical signals is the other category of very important factors to tune/regulate the fate of stem cells.Recent years,more attention has been paid on the differentiation of stem cells on the physical signal,including,electric or magnetic field,surface topology of biomaterials,photo irradiation,and even pressure and strain from the materials.
