Recent article from our group explains the influence of surface relief on surface properties and breast cancer cell adhesion.
Our recent article has been published in Frontiers in Materials. The study focuses on understanding the effect of bulk plastic deformation on the surface properties and cancer cell response. The results show that surface relief, reflections of the deformation mechanisms on the surface, can singificantly alter surface topography and breast cancer cell adhesion.
These findings indicate that surface relief induced upon plastic deformation processes could be utilized in the design of implants for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes through capturing breast cancer cells on the material surface.
