Abstract
Devices and methods fabricating devices having nanostructures that allow adhesion or growth of one cell type, such as endothelial cells, more than another cell type, such as smooth muscle cells. In particular, stent covers may have nanostructures that allow adhesion or growth of one cell type more than another cell type. Nanostructures forming the devices may be optimized.
