Observation of enhanced cell adhesion and transfection efficiency on superhydrophobic surfaces.
It was found that cells attached preferentially on the roughened area of patterned superhydrophobic surfaces allowing the formation of cell microarrays with the advantages of improved cell adhesion, natural separation of colonies and enhanced transfection efficiency.
