چکیده
We report a strategy for the fabrication of tailored electroactive nanorod substrates for biospecific studies of cell adhesion and stem cell differentiation; to control the interfacial properties of the nanorods we formed self-assembled monolayers of an electroactive hydroquinone group that is able to chemoselectively immobilize oxyamine tethered ligands.

A renewable, chemoselective, and quantitative ligand density microarray for the study of biospecific interactions.
Novel renewable microarray technology has been developed to immobilize and release carbohydrates and proteins from self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of electroactive quinone-terminated alkanethiolates on gold surfaces. This method may be applied to a variety of research fields for use in biosensor technology and the generation of renewable and tailored microarrays for biospecific cell-based assays.
متن کاملEnhancement of adhesion and promotion of osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells by poled electroactive poly(vinylidene fluoride).
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is a biocompatible material with excellent electroactive properties. Nonelectroactive α-PVDF and electroactive β-PVDF were used to investigate the substrate polarization and polarity influence on the focal adhesion (FA) size and number as well as on human adipose stem cells (hASCs) differentiation. hASCs were cultured on different PVDF surfaces adsorbed with fib...
متن کاملPolarization of an electroactive functional film on titanium for inducing osteogenic differentiation
To enhance the surface bioactivity of titanium (Ti) prostheses, an electroactive polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film was prepared on a Ti substrate to provide a mimetic of the electrical microenvironment, which facilitated the performance of cell functions. The results of cell proliferation and differentiation assays indicated that polarization of the PVDF-Ti (PTi) altered its surface charge, t...
