Dynamic Modeling of Cell Migration and Spreading Behaviors on Fibronectin Coated Planar Substrates and Micropatterned Geometries
An integrative cell migration model incorporating focal adhesion (FA) dynamics, cytoskeleton and nucleus remodeling, actin motor activity, and lamellipodia protrusion is developed for predicting cell spreading and migration behaviors. This work is motivated by two experimental works: (1) cell migration on 2-D substrates under various fibronectin concentrations and (2) cell spreading on 2-D micr...
متن کاملMicropatterned dynamically adhesive substrates for cell migration.
We present a novel approach to examine cell migration using dynamically adhesive substrates consisting of three spatially and functionally distinct regions: the first is permanently nonadhesive to cells, the second is permanently adhesive, and the final region is electrochemically switched from nonadhesive to adhesive. We applied a double microcontact printing approach to pattern gold surfaces ...
متن کاملThermoresponsive Micropatterned Substrates for Single Cell Studies
We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer brushes. We show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti-adhesive properties. Such brushes are readily patterned at the micron scale via deep UV photolithography. A proper choice of the adhesive pattern shap...
متن کاملOriented astroglial cell growth on micropatterned polystyrene substrates.
In an effort to develop a permissive environment for neural stem cell differentiation, directional growth of astrocytes has been achieved on polymer substrates in vitro. Manipulating a combination of physical and chemical cues, astrocyte adhesion and alignment in vitro were examined. To provide physical guidance, micropatterned polymer substrates of polystyrene (PS) were fabricated. Laminin was...
متن کاملMicropatterned Multicolor Dynamically Adhesive Substrates to Control Cell Adhesion and Multicellular Organization
We present a novel technique to examine cell-cell interactions and directed cell migration using micropatterned substrates of three distinct regions: an adhesive region, a nonadhesive region, and a dynamically adhesive region switched by addition of a soluble factor to the medium. Combining microcontact printing with avidin-biotin capture chemistry, we pattern nonadhesive regions of avidin that...
