- Additional information
- A useful tool for the study of geometrical effects on cell growth, as well as providing some insight into the growth of potential infections of intraocular lenses following cataract surgery. This work was a step towards reducing animal testing, as well as providing more biologically relevant structured surfaces providing the opportunity for 3D scaffold growth in contrast to the smooth plane surfaces often used for studies of this type; the latter do not permit more sophisticated growth patterns that more closely resemble real growth of tissue.
