Cell Culture Studies and Biomechanics
 Ongoing cell culture studies in the Gordon Laboratory are focused on various surface treatments to understand the effects of surface topography and chemistry on cell proliferation and adhesion. These includes study of Plasma Electrolytic Oxide (PEO) coatings, terraced surfaces produced by laser or heat-treatment, and fibre network layers, into which bone growth could be stimulated mechanically, via the application of a magnetic field. Work is also being carried out on the development of mechanically-oriented techniques for characterisation of cell adhesion. |
