title = "Directed migration of cells in contact with anisotropic microstructures",
abstract = "This paper reports a novel method to orient both the axis and direction of cell migration, using an array of tilted micropillars. . It is well known that chemical or mechanical clues can bias the direction of cell migration. However, very few investigations have been done on the base of anisotropy of geometrical features in cell locomotion control. Here, we show that surfaces covered by tilted micropillars can direct cell motion in different configurations. The versatility and the robustness of this approach make such kind of structures good candidates for both fundamental research and advanced applications, orienting cells in contact with an artificial surface.",
