Short-Time Tuning of the Biological Activity of Functionalized Polyelectrolyte Multilayers

Abstract: This article demonstrates the tuning of the biological activity of a surface functionalized by a polyelectrolyte multilayer. The interaction of protein A with macrophages is used as the model system. The film consists of two polypeptides, poly(lysine) and poly(glutamic acid); each “build‐up” solution is a mixture of the respective D‐ and L‐enantiomers (d and l enantiomers). Cells are deposited on top of the film, and they produce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) as they come into contact with the protein. D… Show more

“…[6][7][8][9] Our strategy for regenerating bone combines a synthetic electrospun nanofibrous membrane (ENM) composed of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) polymer, and the bioactive growth factor BMP-2 entrapped into polymer nanoreservoirs built atop the nanofibers according to layer-by-layer (LbL) technology and fortified. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In bone repair, for a small lesion, we do not need bone substitute, as, at this early stage, the regenerative medicine is suitable for regenerating bone tissue. In regenerative medicine, the European and American authorities have already approved the use of BMP-2 or BMP-7 for bone regeneration applications.…”
