Abstract

Supramolecular control of adhesion of cells is demonstrated using synthetic integrin binding RGD peptide-ferrocene conjugates that were immobilized via host-guest chemistry onto cucurbit[7]uril coated gold surfaces.

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.
