Summary: " ... Brings together leading experts to discuss the advances of this fascinating and influential field of research. Micropatterning refers generally to techniques which provide an experimental control over the chemical, physical or geometrical properties of materials at the micron or sub-micron scale, and are thus used to produce spatial patterns of these properties. These techniques, which were often originally designed for application in micro-electronics, have spread over most areas of science, including biology. Topics in this first part focus upon micropatterning soft substrates and cell and tissue micropatterning in 3D"--Cover, page 4.
