Abstract:We demonstrate that the pore size of a nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane is critical for cell viability and cell adhesion upon HeLa cell growth on it, while other properties of membranes such as surface wettability and pore fraction show no such effects. After a human cancer cell, HeLa cell line, was seeded on AAO membranes with various pore sizes ranging from 18 to 150 nm, the adhered cell population and 3‐(4,5‐dimethyltiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay were measured. The c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
