Investigating the effect of laser fabricated topography on mammalian cellular behaviours By George Ching Tzu Goh Supervised by: Dr. Paul French, Dr. Mark Murphy, and Dr. Martin Sharp Group
Introduction Cell Behaviours • In the body cells make, secrete and grow within a 3-D matrix • Interaction with this external matrix is crucial for development and normal tissue functioning Group

Project Aims The main aim of this project are to use laser processing techniques to develop novel 3D patterned polymer substrates for improving endothelial adhesion, proliferation and migration. Whyendothelial cells so important? Endothelium act as a selective barrier and supresses intimal hyperplasia by inhibiting • Thrombus formation • Inflammation • Smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration Group

Bovine Aorta Endothelial cells (BAE-1) Adhesion assay on casted laser microfabricated and non-textured surfaces p≤0.001 BAE-1 cells adhesion assay. Numbers of cells remain attached in each well of textured and non-textured surfaces after challenged by washing were represented by final cell density recorded in individual well. Four types of laser textured Z1A1 PEU polymers were used, namely type 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D, and the control of this experiment was a non-textured PEU polymer. Group
Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells Adhesion assay on casted laser microfabricated and non-textured surfaces Phase contrast images showed that there no adhered HCASMC cells on indirect laser micro-fabricated and non-textured polyurethanes at 2 hours post-seeding.

Conclusion • The result clearly showed that casted laser microfabricated 1A polyurethane mediated endothelial cell adhesion and enhanced cell migration. • This could apply on stent application by micromaching microfringes and nano-coat Z1A1 polyurethane on stent surface to improve endothelial adhesion, at the same time inhibit HCASMC adhesion.
