Dependence of tissue/organ function on tissue/organ Microstructure.

Nanoscale	Microscale	Macroscale
support structures (<1 μm) to control individual cell behavior	support structures (1–100 μm) to control cell–cell interactions and cell-substrate interactions	support structures (>100 μm) for structural support
adhesion, migration proliferation	cell–ECM interaction	tissue–oran interaction
