Adhesion Molecule-Modified Biomaterials for Neural Tissue Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adhesion molecules (AMs) represent one class of biomolecules that promote central nervous system regeneration. These tethered molecules provide cues to regenerating neurons that recapitulate the native brain environment. Improving cell adhesive potential of non-adhesive biomaterials is therefore a common goal in neural tissue engineering. This review discusses common AMs used in neural biomaterials and the mechanism of cell attachment to these AMs. Methods to modify materials with AMs are discussed and compared. Additionally, patterning of AMs for achieving specific neuronal responses is explored.

Polylysine-modified PEG-based hydrogels to enhance the neuro-electrode interface.
Neural prostheses are a promising technology in the treatment of lost neural function. However, poor biocompatibility of these devices inhibits the formation of a robust neuro-electrode interface. Several factors including mechanical mismatch between the device and tissue, inflammation at the implantation site, and possible electrical damage contribute to this response. Many researchers are inv...
متن کاملSelective adhesion of astrocytes to surfaces modified with immobilized peptides.
Under serum-free conditions, rat skin fibroblasts, but not cortical astrocytes, selectively adhered to glass surfaces modified with the integrin-ligand peptide RGDS. In contrast, astrocytes, but not fibroblasts, exhibited enhanced adhesion onto substrates modified with KHIFSDDSSE, a peptide that mimics a homophilic binding domain of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). Astrocyte and fibroblast...

The new generation of biomaterials focuses on the design of biomimetic polymeric materials that are capable of eliciting specific cellular responses and directing new tissue formation. Since Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequences have been found to promote cell adhesion in 1984, numerous polymers have been functionalized with RGD peptides for tissue engineering applications. This review gave the advance i...

متن کاملProtein-engineered biomaterials: highly tunable tissue engineering scaffolds.
A common goal in tissue engineering is to attain the ability to tailor specific cell-scaffold interactions and thereby gain control over cell behavior. The tunable nature of protein-engineered biomaterials enables independent tailoring of a range of biomaterial properties, creating an attractive alternative to synthetic polymeric scaffolds or harvested natural scaffolds. Protein-engineered biom...
