as small as tens of nanometer (Yasin etal. 2001). While some of these techniques,
such as nanoimprint lithography technique, indirectly transfers patterns from a nano-
structured mold to the substrate (Hoff etal. 2004), others such as dip-pen lithography
using functionalized atomic force microscope tips or nanopipetting using a focused
ion beam microscope directly create nanoscale patterns on the surface (Lee etal.
2002; Bruckbauer etal. 2004). For proper cell adhesion, a spacing of 10nm to sev-
eral hundred nanometers between adjacent nano/microfeatures has been suggested
(Massia and Hubbell 1991). The scale of topography also affects the cell alignment.
