a
Abbreviations as used in text. See text for detailed description of patterning method.
b
+ (supportive of cell growth), − (no adherence or proliferation); order of ‘‘surface description’’ matches reported + or − order, respectively. ND (not determined). See ref.[37] for full surface analytical characterization. See text for a detailed description of successful combinations of surface chemistries for micropatterning based on cell line.
c
Cell pattern fidelity differences due to different seeding concentrations, doubling times, and affinity for surfaces.
