Core Tip	Stem cells receive instructions from their niche environment, which guide their survival and phenotype. Stem cells receive physical and biochemical clues from their extracellular matrix where they reside in vivo. This paper will discuss the utilization of biomaterial surface topography and elasticity and delivery of chemical and genetic clues via scaffold materials to mimic the extracellular matrix to guide stem cell fate. The understanding of the parameters that guide stem cell differentiation is of great interest for the tissue-engineering field.
