A green and straightforward tannic acid functionalization can enhance cell adhesion and proliferation on PDMS, and thus, can be potentially used for microfluidic cell assay devices for cellular physiological study or drug screening.
Time-dependent cell morphology changed cellular capability to enhance cell adhesion force activation on nano/micro-topographies, resulting in difference cell–material interactions.
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)–carrageenan (CAR) composite hydrogels can reduce pore collapse during lyophilization and enhance cell adhesion in comparison to pure PVA hydrogels.
