Abstract
The invention relates to microfabricated membranes and matrices that have a highly controlled and complex three-dimensional topography. The new micro fabricated membranes and matrices can be prepared of man-made as well as natural materials, such as materials found in naturally occurring membranes, and thus can be made in the form of tissue substitutes or analogs, such as basal lamina, dermal, or skin analogs.
