Polyelectrolyte Multilayers: Towards Single Cell Studies
Single cell analysis (SCA) is nowadays recognized as one of the key tools for diagnostics and fundamental cell biology studies. The Layer-by-layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte assembly is a rather new but powerful technique to produce multilayers. It allows to model the extracellular matrix in terms of its chemical and physical properties. Utilization of the multilayers for SCA may open new avenues in...

متن کاملMechanically responding nanovalves based on polyelectrolyte multilayers.
The alternate deposition of exponentially and linearly growing polyelectrolyte multilayers leads to the formation of multicompartment films. In this study, a new system consisting in nanometer-sized multilayer barriers deposited on or between multilayer compartments was designed to respond to mechanical stimuli and to act as nanovalves. The diffusion of polyelectrolytes through the barrier from...
متن کاملTuning compliance of nanoscale polyelectrolyte multilayers to modulate cell adhesion.
It is well known that mechanical stimuli induce cellular responses ranging from morphological reorganization to mineral secretion, and that mechanical stimulation through modulation of the mechanical properties of cell substrata affects cell function in vitro and in vivo. However, there are few approaches by which the mechanical compliance of the substrata to which cells adhere and grow can be ...
متن کاملMechanical properties of nanotubes of polyelectrolyte multilayers.
The elastic properties of nanotubes fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of polyelectrolytes in the nanopores of polycarbonate track-etched membranes have been investigated by resonant contact Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), for nanotube diameters in the range of 100 to 200 nm. The elastic modulus of the nanotubes was computed from the resonance frequencies of a cantilever resting on free...
