ACS biomaterials science & engineering 2022 May 09The disrupted surface of porous membranes, commonly used in tissue-chip and cellular coculture systems, is known to weaken cell-substrate interactions. Here, we investigated whether disrupted surfaces of membranes with micron and submicron scale pores affect yes-associated protein (YAP) localization and differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells. We found that these substrates reduce YAP nuclear localization through decreased cell spreading, consistent with reduced cell-substrate interactions, and in turn enhance adipogenesis while decreasing osteogenesis.
