Abstract

The ability to spatially control cellular adhesion in a continuous manner on a biocompatible substrate is an important factor in designing new biomaterials for use in wound healing and tissue engineering applications. In this work, a novel method of engineering cell-adhesive RGD-ligand density gradients to control specific cell adhesion across a substrate is presented. Polymer brushes exhibiting spatially defined gradients in chain density are created and subsequently functionalized with RGD to create ligand density gradients capable of inducing cell adhesion on an otherwise weakly adhesive substrate. Cell studies indicate that these ligand-functionalized surfaces are noncytotoxic, with cellular adhesion increasing with RGD-ligand density across the gradient brush surface.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
