Control of Neural Stem Cell Survival by Electroactive Polymer Substrates
Stem cell function is regulated by intrinsic as well as microenvironmental factors, including chemical and mechanical signals. Conducting polymer-based cell culture substrates provide a powerful tool to control both chemical and physical stimuli sensed by stem cells. Here we show that polypyrrole (PPy), a commonly used conducting polymer, can be tailored to modulate survival and maintenance of ...
متن کاملBiomimetic interfacial interpenetrating polymer networks control neural stem cell behavior.
Highly-regulated signals surrounding stem cells, such as growth factors at specific concentrations and matrix mechanical stiffness, have been implicated in modulating stem cell proliferation and maturation. However, tight control of proliferation and lineage commitment signals is rarely achieved during growth outside the body, since the spectrum of biochemical and mechanical signals that govern...

متن کاملPhotopatterned polymer brushes promoting cell adhesion gradients.
The ability to spatially control cellular adhesion in a continuous manner on a biocompatible substrate is an important factor in designing new biomaterials for use in wound healing and tissue engineering applications. In this work, a novel method of engineering cell-adhesive RGD-ligand density gradients to control specific cell adhesion across a substrate is presented. Polymer brushes exhibitin...
متن کاملPromotion of neural cell adhesion by electrochemically generated and functionalized polymer films.
New strategies for spatially controllable cell adhesion have been developed for brain cells from embryonic chicken. They are based on electrochemically active phenol and pyrrole derivatives, and can be used for the selective coverage of electroconductive substrates. Besides mimicking standard laminin-related adhesion promoting mechanisms by means of an electroactive monomer-linked 18-peptide se...
