Popis: This paper aimed at time based study of cell morphology for human keratinocytes (HaCaTs) cultured on the cholesteryl ester liquid crystals (CELC). High resolution imaging of HaCaTs adhered on CELC substrate using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) will be investigated. In the AFM micrographs, the appearance of cells cultured on CELC captured in different time domain showed variation in the cell morphology including the surface roughness and thickness of cells. The AFM results revealed that soft liquid crystals substrate has triggered the remodeling of cell surface structure over time.
