A versatile and dynamic photoconjugation platform is introduced that provides high, 3D spatial resolution for functionalizing micro-3D-printed (μ-3DP) hydrogels. Schwann cells are patterned on μ-3DP hydrogels precisely labeled with RGD, a cell adhesive peptide, demonstrating utility of this platform for cell culture applications.

This study demonstrates the rapid fabrication and utility of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer film for cell patterning. The film was obtained on a cell culture surface by microcasting MPC polymer ethanol solution into a degassed polydimethylsiloxane mold with a desired pattern. After removal of the mold, 293AD cells were cultured on the surface of the polymer film with the patterned microstructures. Patterned cell adhesion restricted by the film was successfully maintained during at least a 168-h cultivation. The microcast MPC polymer film can be prepared rapidly and used for efficient long-term cell confinement.

In this study, we fabricated Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/hydroxyapatite (PLGA/HAp) nanofibres using electrospinning and evaluated their potential use for bone repair applications. Analysis confirmed that the PLGA nanofibres were similar to the natural extracellular matrix and included HAp particles. Further, gelatin augmented the adhesion of electrospun nanofibres in the cell adhesion test. Therefore, electrospun PLGA/HAp nanofibres together with gelatin can be utilised for bone repair applications.

Abstract Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) involves integrin receptor–ligand binding and clustering to form focal adhesion (FA) complexes, which mechanically link the cell’s cytoskeleton to the ECM and regulate fundamental cell signaling pathways. Although elucidation of the biochemical events in cell-matrix adhesive interactions is rapidly advancing, recent studies show that the forces underlying cell-matrix adhesive interactions are also critical to cell responses. Therefore, multiple measurement systems have been developed to quantify the spatial and temporal dynamics of cell adhesive forces, and these systems have identified how mechanical events influence cell phenotype and FA structure–function relationships under physiological and pathological settings. This review focuses on the development, methodology, and applications of measurement systems for probing (a) cell adhesion strength and (b) 2D and 3D cell traction forces.

Amelogenin, the major protein component of tooth enamel, is shown to be a cell adhesion protein. Since it had been shown that an amelogenin-containing preparation, Emdogain®, possessed cell-adhesive activity, we tested the hypothesis that amelogenin was responsible for cell-adhesive activity. Recombinant amelogenin was found to promote adhesion at less than 15 μg/60-mm plate and requires divalent cations for activity. While we found that amelogenin does not bind to collagen or heparin under physiological conditions, it was demonstrated previously that amelogenin does bind to hydroxyapatite. The cell-adhesive activity of amelogenin may play a role in development and may provide a partial explanation for the therapeutic effects of Emdogain® in periodontal regeneration.
