Triggerable ligand presentation using caged-RGD
… signal transduction. It is unknown whether adhesion to a ligand is required throughout various cell processes, or only during a specified time period ("temporal threshold”). Current approaches to ligand presentation often comprise of static, constant densities of ligands. In contrast, …

The wettability of biomaterials determines the protein adsorption and the cellular responses
… induced thrombosis. The sequence of the thrombus formation on the artificial surfaces has been well established. The first event, which occurs, after exposure of biomaterials to blood, is the adsorption of blood proteins. Surface physicochemical properties of the materials as wettability greatly …

COMBINATORIAL DEVELOPMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIAL LIBRARIES FOR THE STUDY OF CELL SUBSTRATE INTERACTION
… reduces the probability of differentiation and formation of focal adhesions. The second phase of the work targets the development of nanostructured material libraries for studying PC12 cell adhesion and growth. Here we described a combinatorial approach to construct libraries of metals …
