Combinational Effect of Cell Adhesion Biomolecules and Their Immobilized Polymer Property to Enhance Cell-Selective Adhesion

Figure 1

Schematic image of evaluating cell adhesion performance as a combination effect of biomolecules and its immobilized polymer property. Poly(NIPAAm-co-CIPAAm) surface was fabricated to create the cell assay platform. Due to the thermoresponsive polyNIPAAm effect, the cell adhesion performance of the same immobilized biomolecules can be tested; the polymer properties can be compared by changing the temperature. Cell-selective adhesion was compared among three types of cells (ECs, SMCs, and FBs), which control the regeneration process of vascular tissue engineering.
