A magnetic artificial cilia platform for dynamic mechanical stimulation of cells
Emmie J. D. Schoutens, Jelle Arends, Nicholas A. Kurniawan, Jaap M. J. den ToonderA large-displacement magnetic artificial cilia platform enables localized mechanical stimulation of adherent cells. Dynamic actuation induces changes in fibroblast morphology, pillar attachment, and directional alignment.
