“…In recent years, surfaces featuring micropatterns of biomolecules, particularly proteins, have seen a surge of interest. They have found multiple applications in biomedical research such as microarrays (Macbeath and Schreiber, 2000; Allison et al, 2006; Wingren and Borrebaeck, 2007), proteomics (Haab, 2005; Wingren and Borrebaeck, 2008), and biomimetic sensors (Mujahid et al, 2013). Furthermore, cell-scale microstructured biointerfaces have been used to manipulate cell shape and organization to study endocytosis (Tan et al, 2015), cell polarization and proliferation (Chen et al, 1997; Théry, 2010), host-pathogen interactions (March et al, 2015) as well as stem cell differentiation (Sykova and Forostyak, 2013; Castaño et al, 2014).…”
