Surface engineering of substrates offers the possibility controlling physiological functions cells at molecular level. Fluorinated graphene promotes differentiation MSCs towards neuronal lineages. Cell alignment using printed polydimethylsiloxane channel arrays on fluorinated further enhances neuro-induction even in absence chemical inducers.
