SEM image of a collagen scaffold. (Pek et al. 2004) Artificial environment of petri dish  cells are usually surrounded by extracellular matrix (ECM)  ECM affects cell behavior Develop and optimize protocols for culturing fibroblasts inside porous collagen scaffolds for High Throughput Proteomic experiments Neurodegenerative diseases  extensive cell death Assessment of direct neuronal conversion from Primary Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts(PMEF) cells on scaffolds fabricated by melt electrospinning technique 3D scaffold (Hong et al. 2010) SEM image of a collagen scaffold.
