Abstract
In this paper, we report a novel method for the microfabrication of arrays of concave and convex chambers with different diameters and curvatures. We used these structures to study the behavior of cultured mouse fibroblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells, and revealed important cellular behaviors of them. Therefore, our physiological studies indicate that the cultured fibroblast cells and human mesenchymal stem cells can sense micro-scale curvatures and actively respond by "escaping" from concave microwells.
