Controlling cell-material interactions using coatings with advanced polymer architectures

Polymeric coatings which allow the effective control of biointerfacial interactions and cellular responses are of increasing interest in a range of biomedical applications in vitro and in vivo such as cell culture tools, biosensors and implantable medical devices. A variety of coating strategies have been developed to gain control over cell-surface interactions but many of them are limited with respect to their function and transferability...
