Tuning 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 کاملMicrogel film dynamics modulate cell adhesion behavior.
A material's mechanical properties greatly control cell behavior at the cell–substrate interface. In this work, we demonstrate that microgel multilayers have unique elastic and viscoelastic-like properties that can be modulated to produce morphological changes in fibroblasts cultured on the film. Protein adsorption is also examined and the data are contrasted with the number of cells adhered. T...
متن کاملElectrical Detection of Self-Assembled Polyelectrolyte Multilayers by a Thin Film Resistor
The build up of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) was observed by a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based thin film resistor. Differently charged polyelectrolytes adsorbing to the sensor surface result in defined potential shifts, which decrease with the number of layers deposited. We model the response of the device assuming electrostatic screening of polyelectrolyte charges by mobile ions within ...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte 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...
